Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have java-linux even if I have to
download and install bzip2 to use it.  Still I think it's better
to stick with more commonly available installation tools (and libraries
and kernels for that matter).

Is java-linux for kernel developers (100s of people) or the linux masses (millions)?
I suppose Debian includes it, but RedHat 5.2 does not include bzip2, nor bzip2
capable tar.
