The very latest rpms can always be found through the koji build system: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5920 (Note that some of these are really pretty new/cutting-edge) Debian (and I assume Ubuntu) comes with alien to convert packages. But I am pretty sure there must be newer packages also available for Debian (which hopefully can also be installed on derivatives like Ubuntu): http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openjdk (Not that I would want to discourage you from trying out Fedora, which is probably the GNU/Linux distro that is most tuned and up to date for libre-java. http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora ) > BTW, the performance differences I'm seeing is 2x-6x in slowness - I believe it > could be the same problem, if they packaged maybe some old VM with Hotspot only > partially enabled. Wow, that is a huge slowdown. Unless it is some micro-benchmark that cannot easily be explained away with old/newer Hotspot for sure. We definitely need to investigate that. If you could post something to easily reproduce it that would be appreciated.
