Linux isn't just a kernel, its also a buzz word. It's really a slap in the face to the GNU Project how many of the bandwagon linux advocates disregard the GNU Project.
I was running JDK 1.4. I used 1.4 because I read that 1.5 was not stable enough. 1.4 took so long to compile and build on my machine that I decided to cut my losses and work with something I knew was stable. Perhaps if I ever find time in the future, I will give 1.5 and FreeBSD 6.0 a whirl.
There is a native port of JDK 1.5.x. Even if it isn't listed as the current release, it still works very well.
It doesnt work well enough, I was running tomcat on freebsd 5.4 building the JDK 1.4 from source and it crashed and core dumped a couple times a day. That lasted a week before I decided to go with Slackware. I really love FreeBSD, but for java development, the port is just not stable enough. I wish Sun would offer binaries...
I've written web apps in Java, PHP, and now Python (check out Turbogears). Debugging PHP was such a pain, especially the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR). Most of the bugs I would be trying to fix were not bugs on my part but bugs in the PHP libraries. Not to mention the error that was thrown 99% of the time was completely inaccurate. Just my experiences...
For large scale applications, java, c/c++, perl, PHP just don't cut it. You should really check out mod_fortran. Everything you love about fortran with none of the hype.

Anyone know of a link for the rest of the submitted logos?

It seems that they will be going from their current fried potato chip to a more diet efficient baked corn chip.
