Beta 1 has been ported to Linux. I'm still waiting on getting
1.0 FCS (or whatever it's called) so I can start working on it
under bsd/os. There is a group of people @ java-port-bsd@portia.com
who work on ports to BSD/OS, NetBSD and Freebsd in their spare time.
To subscribe to it send a message with the word 'subscribe' in
the body to java-port-bsd-request@portia.com. Has anyone actually
gotten the final source release from Sun yet. It's been over a
week and still no response.
