Product highlights include kernel 2.6.13, gcc 4.0.2, glibc 2.3.5, improved boot times and Xen 3. Torrents are available for the i386, ppc and x86_64 versions. The downloadable OSS edition lacks some packages for licensing reasons of which some, like Java, can be installed via package repository." As you can see, licencing issues mentioned, and java missing in default install because of that. Thats the point, a reason why distros distribute gnu java instead official Sun java, and i dont blame them at all. Kunnar Kunnar
