(GCJ is the Compiler for Java and GIJ is the interpreter for Java). I would recommend, installing sun-java5-sdk (now that it is Free Software (licensed under GPL2; you can install the source, as well). Also, there's another alternative, known as Blackdown Java. This was created, when Sun's java was not under GPL. If you have Adpet / Synaptic search for Blackdown Java. A small suggestion: Since this thread is related to your Ubuntu for CS, I would request you to do the following. Let the distro be as it is. Since, you plan to give development tools to CS students, you could create and Apt-ON CD for them, and distribute it with the sources of those tools on that CD. Imagine, the advantages they get! I can think of doing it this way. Considering, that you have unlimited data transfers on your internet connection, you could use apt-get to *download* (set -d option) all the necessary packages. You can then create a document on how to use the CD for installing software and put it in the same CD. That CD will be like /sone pe suhaga/. -- http://www.gnu.org.in http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Meet people who discuss and share your passions.
