Mikael, Thanks for your input.
I did notice that requirement regarding Oracle's Java and it has me a little concernded as well. Last time I tried to replace OpenJDK with Oracle i ran into some difficulties such as the one you describe. I guess it can be solved by using different java home variables? I actually started on install using Centos 5.5 since I found installation notes for v. 5 but I'm thinking of scratching that and starting over with the latest CentOS version instead. - Nicklas On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 2:23 PM, Mikael Kurula <alcar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi! > > I'm also in the process of trying out if OpenMeetings is a possible > alternative to Adobe Connect, with which I'm utterly fed up. > > The only problem I had with CentOS is that LibreOffice for CentOS 6 > depends on OpenJDK whereas OpenMeetings need Oracle's Java.
