  1. Java Support by MarkX · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does anyone here run Java applications, such as JBoss, ant, javac, javadoc, etc. under YDL? I looked at the package and there does not seem to be a JDK shipped with the distribution. I'd like to consider YDL as a server OS, but lacking Java it's a no go.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    In addition, Yellowdog runs on all PPC machines, not just Macs. Yellowdog themselves sell non-mac powerpcs.
