Ubuntu is a good choice (I use it, actually Kubuntu, at home). Any of the current, popular distros would work (such as Fedora, which I use at work). You should install the Sun JDK also - I recommend getting it from the Sun web site and not relying on the packages provided by the distro. For Unbuntu you want the "*.bin" file, for Fedora or SUSE the *.rpm file. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4175377#...
