After some months with Debian(3.1PowerPC)I´m
generally comfortable with it:
-compiling software,and dealing with the different
aspects of the package management system(good stuff!)
-Connections to the Internet.
-Printing system: my 70 dollars inkjet prints
documents,photos with quality nearly identical
to a 400 dollars laser printer,with refilled
inkjet cartridges.
However,four points:
-Java: I don´t know which Java Runtime Environment,SDK
is the most effective,the blackdown.org or the
Gnu classpath,gcj,or other.For example,I want to
compile and run JGR a frontend for R(the statistics
software),which needs Java2-1.5,and I think none of
the above JRE,SDKs provides Java2-1.5.
Blackdown´s provide for the PPC Java2-1.3.1.
Do you know why Debian does not ship Blackdown´s
Java?
-Macromedia´s Shockwave Flash Player: The possible
solutions,none seems effective for the PPC.I can´t
see Flash content in Mozilla.Do you know of a
method,program to do that effectively?Advice
appreciated.
-Security Enhanced Linux: Is the next release of
Debian(Sid,I think) scheduled to ship a standard
kernel which implements SEL as a LSM?
-An encrypted partition: The methods available
dm-crypt,loop-AES,are they effective?
