You know where this all started?  I wanted to run a Java, and I need a 
jdk14 to build either a jdk14 OR a jdk15.  The Java list sent me off to 
get a Linux JDK, that got me off to get Linux compatibility.  Now you're 
telling me I can't run Linux apps?  I think the folks on the Java list 
seem to be disagreeing with you, at the minimum.

It's beginning to become funny.
