Excellent. 
I only wish Sun would open-source it.  Then the support for different
Linux distributions could be easier and we don't need to install
outdated libraries on our Debian or Ubuntu boxes.

I think the java in /etc/opt/SUNWut/jre is used only by SRSS
itself. You can have another java for all other applications. And I think 
they know best which version is optimal for them. So I didn't bother with
this and installed the version that comes with SRSS (java 1.4.2) 
in /etc/opt/SUNWut/jre, as suggested in the Debian-SRSS guide.

Another very interesting unsupported OS. 
Please keep us informed.
