Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" is using Fedora/Red Hat's
system-config-printer to replace
gnome-cups-manager, and now another Fedora-spawned project is available as Debian packages for Ubuntu.
IcedTea was started as a project by Red Hat that uses the OpenJDK code but for legal reasons it's called "IcedTea" and currently depends upon some non-free bits of code to build. Matthias Klose of Ubuntu has now produced IcedTea Debian packages for Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. These packages are for i386, lpia, and x86_64. It doesn't look like the IcedTea packages will appear in the Ubuntu spin but is rather targeted for developers until all of the Ubuntu Java/OpenJDK issues are worked out. Find out more on the
ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list.
