1352: Sun Ports JDK 1.2 to Linux

      Sun announced its support of the Linux developer community to
      port the popular Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2 to Linux.  The
      JDK is a set of building blocks that includes development tools,
      a rich set of class libraries and a virtual machine. This port
      will enable Java technology-based applications to run on the
      Linux operating system.

      The development of a JDK 1.2 port for Linux underscores the
      industry's support of the next release of the Java Development
      Kit, and comes on the heels of two earlier announcements made
      this year regarding JDK 1.2 support for Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX
      operating environment and Sun's Solaris 7 Operating Environment.

      Linux is a full-featured, powerful and robust Unix operating
      system written by Linus Torvalds. Linux offers features such as
      true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand
      loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
      management and TCP/IP networking.
