[Peeweelinux] newbie questions

[Isao Yamashita]

3) java vm -- anyone gone through the pain and found a good one?
(we're looking at Waba, I think)

There are 2 versions of Waba for Linux.

One is based on GTK, and the other one is based on PicoGUI
(picogui.sourceforge.net).
PicoGUI version is the one actively updated, like every 2 months or so.

Me? I'm one of the developers (VM hacker ?) for Waba...

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Isao F. Yamashita
