[10:46] <AnAnt> Hello
[10:46] <AnAnt> can someone comment on LP 491784 ?
[15:52] <JSeymour> G'day all.  Got a fresh (more-or-less) 9.10 Desktop install.  Want Java runtime & development.  There are *lots* of packages listed in Synaptic.  Which are recommended.  (I *think* I'd prefer Sun's stuff, but can be persuaded otherwise.)
[16:04] <nthykier> JSeymour: A good alternative is openjdk6/icedtea
[17:49] <JSeymour> nthykier: I installed the sun JDK.  All's well.  Thanks for the feedback, tho.
