I'd like to work with Java. I installed a JDK (Java Development Kit) on my zipslack-- it installed okay, but I couldn't do anything with it. I'm too green at Linux to have much hope of unraveling the difficulties, but I read that the Linux JDK was developed under Debian, so I am considering installing Debian and trying the JDK again. If it weren't for the JDK issue, I think I'd prefer going to Slackware. My questions: Are any speakup users using a version of JDK? If so, what version and distribution? I'll appreciate any tips.
