Yes indeed, "OpenJDK 8 is included with RHEL 6.6 (and higher) and RHEL 7.1 (and higher), and it is fully supported." https://access.redhat.com/solutions/795263 java-package <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=java-package> is available on jessie contrib <https://packages.debian.org/jessie/java-package>, but java 8 is only available on wheezy in backports <https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/java-package> repo Ubuntu : OpenJDK 8 is still not <https://bugs.launchpad.net/trusty-backports/+bug/1368094> available in an official backport for 14.04. It is, however, available in 14.10 and forwards. OpenSuse : can't tell, http://software.opensuse.org/package/java-1_8_0-openjdk is down for maintenance Gentoo : not a distro I know well, but AFAIC there's no such thing as a LTS, so just use oracle-jdk-bin <https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin> package FreeBSD : not sure how those handle packages vs system releases. http://www.freshports.org/java/openjdk8 doesn't give info on system version it applies to OpenBSD : ?
