I like where Fedora is headed, in addition to totally digging the
whole Ubuntu process.  The faster boot work is awsome.  Good things
happening with Linux distros!

I did find this interesting from the Core 4 plans:

* Java - More native-compiled GCJ stuff. Including Eclipse.

Would GCJ be anything Ubuntu take advantage of?  From what I
understand distributing any decent java-vm is a licencing mess.
