Looking for comments: |

A while back I removed java during an upgrade on my main desktop system |
| 4 |
and left icedtea6-bin in place without any noticeable effect. |

|

Presumably icedtea6 suffers the same java bug (cant find anything in |
| 8 |
their bugzilla though?) thats got everybody riled at the moment, though |
| 9 |
the last security bug on gentoo bugzilla is 2011. |

I am happy not using a mainstream java and avoiding the fuss that goes |
| 13 |
with dealing with oracles nonsense download restrictions but have two |
| 14 |
questions: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. are there any "real" problems with using icedtea6? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2. icedtea6 and icedtea6-bin ... any difference in features? - I have |
| 19 |
had a much more stable experience with openoffice vs openoffice-bin so |
| 20 |
presume build yourself would be the same here? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The questions may seem redundant seeing I am using both icedtea and java |
| 24 |
on various systems, but others experience may not be the same, or have |
| 25 |
more knowledge which would be useful before I move everything over. |
