Hi :) Oooops, yes i keep writing 2 when it's obviously 1! The only bit i really take notice of is the end part, the _21 or _20 or whatever. The 1.7.??? is very confusing. Similarly with Linux (the kernel in Gnu&Linux) suddenly jumping version numbers to "something much easier" and skipping a few numbers just because Linus Torvalds felt like it, lol. The java _20 is reputedly about as fast as it gets but the _21 is supposedly a bit faster on some systems, if that's an issue. It's probably not worth the hassle if you already have 1 of the 3 good ones tho.
It's interesting to hear the Windows naming is a little different and neatly covered my mistake for me! ;) Thanks and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Don Myers <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 31 August, 2011 16:45:34 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.3 released. Stable and functionality combined Hi Everyone, For me, the issues with LibreOffice started with Java 1.6.0_24 and continued with 1.6.0_26. I run Ubuntu 11.04. Ubuntu, for the last several releases, has not shipped Java with it, but uses an open Java called Iced Tea. I always install Sun Java once I have a new version installed. When the issues arose with 1.6.0_24, I deleted all of Sun Java, and went back to Iced Tea. I had not luck with it working any better than the Sun Java 1.6.0_24. I've been running 1.6.0_26 for my browsers, and 1.6.0_21 for LibreOffice for about 3 weeks now, and everything works perfectly. Based on my past experience of trying Iced Tea, I'll stick with the two Java versions. I'm presently running LibreOffice 3.4.2 and hope to install 3.4.3 tonight. The key numbers in versions in comparing Linux versions and Windows versions of Java are the 6 ( Linux 1.*6*.0_21 jre-*6*u21-windows-i586-s.exe ) and the 20 whatever ( Linux 1.6.0_*21* jre-6u*21*-windows-i586-s.exe ). So, Linux version 1.6.0_21 and windows jre-6u21-windows-i586-s.exe are the same version for their respective platforms.
