It's pretty much the other way round: java CANNOT be included by default in any (free) linux distro for license reasons, and it CANNOT be included by default in Windows as a consequence of court ruling: Microsoft is actually _not allowed_ to include Java. The only system (apart from solaris, I guess) that has a JVM by default is OSX, and it's _NOT_ sun's one, but the internally developed one. -- Renato -------------------------------- Usi Fedora?
