JRE for FreeBSD 5.4, Monitoring FreeBSD

[Arvind Nahata]

Many thanks to Ian G, Greg Lewis, and Ronald Klop for
their responses!

Please ignore my ignorance, but can you first tell me
what do you mean by "PORTS"

I am really confused and am sure it has some different
meaning in the FreeBSD world.

Also, where can I find all the posts of
freebsd-java at FreeBSD.org?

Thanks in advance!
