Java on Linux, the saga continues…
Written on February 29, 2008 by Katherine W. Prawl
Today I finally got around to installing a new version of Debian Linux, this one the “testing” release code named Lenny, because it is supposed to include Java6 JDK, which I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to get to work on the “Etch” release of Debian. Etch only has Java5 JDK, which won’t quite do. You will perhaps recall from earlier postings about Project Wonderland that the Wonderland server requires Java6. So, it all worked on the second try, but I’ve been too busy with other things (like talking about doing all this) to get a good look at it to see if in fact Java6 is there and accessible. No meetings are on my agenda tomorrow (I had 3 today, plus a semi-scheduled conversation), so there’s a half-decent chance I’ll get to it then. But don’t hold your breath.
