> So what does the ballfield look like ? I'm not sure I understand the question. I've got an Compaq-donated Alpha, running the Compaq-provided Linux-JDK in emulation mode that should be adequate enough to bootstrap a FreeBSD-native port. However, if history is at all a reflection os what we expect, the native Alpha port will be the *slowest* JVM in the world w/out a JIT. The Linux port is slower on the box than it is on my 486/66 box, so it's no speed daemon, that's for sure. > BTW i've noticed that blackdown has gotten involved with BSD et al.

In a couple of weeks, there will be no BSDi. It's not obvious at this time if there will be a relationship.
