potato is currently frozen, and will be stable in maybe a month. So it is probably safe to use potato (which has glibc 2.1.3). In that case, you can choose between the blackdown, sun or ibm-versions (on x86, only blackdown supports other hardware). if you want to use slink, go to www.blackdown.org, and download jdk1.2prev2*.tar.gz make sure you download from the glibc2.0 directory. it should be just (as root) $cd /usr/local $tar -xzf jdk1.2prev2.tar.gz (this creates /usr/local/jdk1.2/*) and then add /usr/local/jdk1.2/bin to your PATH -- Felix Natter
