I tried Ubuntu once and went through an upgrade. This was after some
years of Debian at home. There were problems, I thought it was a
joke. The documentation was also very bad, having to google for web

The best way to use Maple (I don't have maple 8, my versions 9, 9.5 and 10)
is to run maple without java by typing :
