Same goes for Perl and Python. Indeed, this is a big part of why Java was open sourced--so it could get baked into the Linuxdistros, ending the need for developers to work around the uncertainty of whether or not it would be there (and, if so, which version was there etc.). This is also why the Linux Standard Base is in the process of adding Perl and Python to the next version (so that the Linux distros can have some common baseline) and why Sun is actively engaging with the LSB to ensure Java gets in as well.
and why do we care? we're pushing /opensolaris/, NOT java... java's sun's other product. -- This Message has been Digitally Signed PGP Public Key 0x437AF1A1 Availiable on hkp://pgp.mit.edu
