Point taken. But then, with the Sun Java situation, the individual admin was taking on the responsbility. Debian had no stake in the matter. Now, that is no longer true. Having Oracle available via apt would make a world of difference to many admins. If Larry Ellison shows up at the next DebConf can we expect Debian to start distributing Oracle as well? -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
