FAQ-java draft
Well, as I promised some days ago I submit here a draft of a
could-be debian-java FAQ. BTW the links pointing to the vajava package are
not yet available since my machine is not quite "ready" yet :(
¿Anyone knows the license of Visual Age Java for Linux (from IBM)?
I accept all kinds of suggestions and text written or new questions.
I will browse throught the mailing list in order to get some answers :)
Regards
Javi
PD: BTW the original is written in debiandoc-sgwml
