I’ve been having ongoing hassles with Tomcat 5 on my 64Mb Linode - and it’s the only software on that box that’s been unreliable.
After getting sick of killing the thing off, I've made the jump to [Jetty](http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/index.html). It's smaller, faster, and hopefully more robust. Configuration is a snack - once you workout that the XML format just mirrors the API calls it support. My subdomains are working just great, but now I just need to work out how to configure the root context. BTW Jetty starts in around 4 seconds. Nuff said.Pebble even ships with instructions on how to configure Jetty for Pebble use.
And best of all, it’s a Aussie product. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!!!
