Well, I'm not a developer or anything, currently trying to learn java
and I've only been using the java supplied by rawhide :D  I pretty
much run rawhide at all times on 3 box's, x86 & x86_64, so if there is
something I can test for you let me know.  Maybe I'll learn something
else on the way.  Or at least if there is something I can test for
you, I do have 2 different arch's to test on.

I know what you mean by time constraints, I just signed up for a 3
month on call to support websphere/aix so I think it's going to kick
my arse at work plus I do most of the linux certification of software
my group supports on rhel 2.1/3.3 and seem to be the one people skip
over the pager and call me directly for apache.

btw, is Head First Java 2nd edition pretty good?  Sams Teach Yourself
Java 2 and I try and take some java programming classess at work when
I get a chance.  I went a few weeks ago and everything we did in the
class, I used my laptop that runs rawhide and every program I
wrote/tested worked fine. (nothing fancy), just thought that was cool,
everyone else was using windows and sun's java. (those two in the same
sentence just sounds sick)  I know, I'm a zealot and I'm proud of it!


All that said, I'm crazy and I love to run rawhide, nothing else does it for me.
