    :confused:hi, i'm new to linux. I currently need to explore the linux platform for my project. i'm using Mandrake. i would like to know: - how to run .exe file on linux. - how to compile java on linux platform. There are a few jdk for linux( e.g. blackdown JDK, IBM JDK, Sun J2SE and Kaffe). May i know which to choose? Is it all of them are mostly the same, and i can pick anyone of them? thanks in advance.

For stuff in which you absolutely need a Windows environment, but don't want to reboot into Windows, there's VMWare: http://www.vmware.com/[^] @n!e wrote: - how to compile java on linux platform.

I mainly use the Sun J2SE for my projects for the JRE (since it's the standard), but use IBM's free Jikes compiler (which is many times faster than Sun's javac). The downside to Jikes is that the error output can be downright cryptic at times, which is when I'll fall back to javac. - Mike
