Fedora Core 2

I’m really enjoying Fedora Core 2 quite a bit. It has solved the
memory problems I had with Red Hat 9 — over time RHL 9 would seem to
forget about memory, and after a few weeks I would have to reboot or
else enter swap more or less constantly). It’s like getting a whole
new machine. On top of that, now there’s yum and apt, so it was very
easy to set up all the nice stuff I always put off back in the 9 days.
So, congratulations Fedora people. I’ll probably upgrade to FC3 in a
more timely way, given how nicely this worked.

GCJ

I’m back hacking on gcj again. I’ve been working on the binary
compatibility branch for the most part, and in particular right now
I’m rewriting class preparation and initialization — this was always
ugly code, but the advent of the BC ABI has turned it into sour mush.
Today I got the rewrite not to crash, and I can still run Eclipse, so
there should be checkins relatively soon.
