I am about to buy and install the Red hat 5.0 version of Linux on my system at home. I am a Microsoft loyal who is getting fed up with MS and wanting something a bit more stable, more dependable, and hopefully, a bit more predicatable! In addition, I am learning Java. I wanted to know if Red Hat 5.0 comes with JDK support, any dev tools, or other stuff or if I will need to secure/install it on my own? I take it the NEW java ports would not be in Red Hat 5.0 but I was hoping to at least have SOMETHING until I can figure out how to start using the newer JDK ports. If RedHat DOES NOT come with anything Java then could I get a fast and dirty starting point on how to get the newest stable Java release on my Linux machine? Thanks a bunch. Hopefully once I am up to speed I can contribute back to the group some. I have learned plenty just from listenting in over the past 2-3 weeks. Brett [EMAIL PROTECTED]
