Me, neither...too much good stuff in java 1.1.

I've been using the kwhite version so far without trouble; in particular,
it's running Sun's Java Web Server without the problems that I had with the
"blackdown" Linux version. A better choice of URL for the kwhite version
is http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/javaport.html because it lists
important license agreements (containing important access codes) and
patches for this version. Also, be sure to follow the installation
instructions carefully! I'm running 2.2-stable, and this version was
bombing consistently for me until I followed the directions more carefully
and installed it correctly.
> - use the Linux port in emulation mode
I was never able to get the "blackdown" Linux port to run Java Web Server
reliably -- it would seem to come up, but then it would not reply to
queries reliably, as if there were some sort of network I/O problem.
Actually, it had precisely the same problem running under Linux.
> - use Kaffe
I haven't tried JWS under Kaffe yet; I'd be interested myself to hear of
people running real-world biggish programs with kaffe -- it certainly seems
to be darn fast.
