Sun's SDK works reasonably well on Fedora i386.

Sun's SDK oopses Fedora's x86_64 kernel.

I don't remember the exact reason, but I could not get Blackdown's x86_64 
SDK to install.  I think there were some library dependency issues with 
Fedora.

When I get some spare cycles I'll try to backport a more recent arch/x86_64 
tree to Fedora's kernel, in a vain hope to fix the bleeping kernel crash. 
I'm not that eager to play with it, since every time the kernel oopses I 
have to wait four hours to rebuild the bleeping RAID volumes.
