well, JDK and SDK, I suppose, are used synonymously. JDK contains the JRE plus the compilation and other tools which makes it the JDK. For linux - the process is same - download the rpm (which probably be a .bin file). run it from the shell - it will ask you to accept the license and extract the rpm for you. you can install this rpm then. the difference between the rpm version and the jdk for win2k is the native code for the platform. navin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Siavash Sefidvash Sent: Monday, 17 September 2001 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Java Development kit Hi, I have just started a Java course and visited the sun website in order to download the development kit. I remember the last time I considered learning java JDK 1.2 was in vogue. Now I notice they have SDK. Can anyone explain the differences.? From the learning point of view can I install SDK while my course is going to be based on JDK? I am currently using Win 2000 platform but would like to progress to Linux when I feel comfortable with it. What is the difference ( from the point of view of the java toolkit ) in Java development on linux and/or windoz. Regards Siavash
