Any reason not to use the one from http://java.sun.com/ ?

The Sun SDK available here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html works great on Redhat, Suse, Mandrake, and Debian from what I've experienced.

*adds Slackware to that list*

Just in case... :)

Good to know, I havn't tried Slackware yet so I wasn't sure how well it ran. I would guess that it runs well on all versions of Linux.

Dru, I posted this at Coderforums.net but never did find an answer (even at the Javaranch place you recommended). How did you solve the dependency problems with Debian?

stick this line in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/java/debian/ woody non-free

then run apt-get update
then apt-get install j2sdk1.3

and there you go. :)
