Is there any cooperation or plan in relation to this? As and end user
it's imperative for me that I should at least be able to plug in either
of the Sun/Blackdown/IBM sdks and get a full SDK runtime/toolset.
Sun's SDK works reasonably well on Fedora i386.
Sun's SDK oopses Fedora's x86_64 kernel.
I don't remember the exact reason, but I could not get Blackdown's x86_64
SDK to install. I think there were some library dependency issues with
Fedora.
When I get some spare cycles I'll try to backport a more recent arch/x86_64
tree to Fedora's kernel, in a vain hope to fix the bleeping kernel crash.
I'm not that eager to play with it, since every time the kernel oopses I
have to wait four hours to rebuild the bleeping RAID volumes.
