Just my 2 cents worth (which may be a bit contentious). I learnt a long 
time ago from other distributions that in the real world icetea does not 
cut it as a java environment, and, any distribution that gets rid of the 
Sun Java environment, as indications are that Ubuntu has done, is just 
burying their heads in the sand and refusing to live in the real world.

Steve
