I know that Debian 2.0 includes one (1.1.5v5) in their non-free section
(non-free since no source code). Debian unstable (2.1) has more recent
ones as well; you can pull them down manually and install them or run an
"unstable" 2.1 system (oh, gee, it seems to have a bug or two :-)
I generally like to have the most recent jdk ports, so for the Debian
2.0 machines at work I just pull down the glibc jdk from the blackdown
mirrors, unpack into /usr/local/jdk*, and go. My home system is 2.1,
which works fine but isn't for beginners.
