There isn't much of the non-free archive I need really, after a struggle I managed to get some sort of functional Java Runtime Environment which I needed. I could do with flash for a couple of sites I visit (Flash in Konqueror on SuSE 64bit worked somehow). Skype I got around by using the static version.
Java on Debian? There are 5 JVMs in main now: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/06/msg00002.html
Blackdown was the only way I could get Java to work on my 64bit machine. There are several pages of conflicting advice on the Ubuntu Wiki but the only one that worked for me was the manual installation using Blackdown.
Hmm, on debian I use the java-package package to package my own JVMs, I'm currently running the sun j2sdk1.5 (IIRC), simply built using make-jpkg. It takes a downloaded jvm from Sun/IBM/SomeoneElse and repacks it in to a shiny .deb file that you can then install.
Flash is more of a problem: http://www.affs.org.uk/~alex/HowDoWeReplaceFlash
Skype? Well, pretty much any SIP or IAX client works...
I would like to use an open source client, but I have lots of friends (and even know of some whole companies) that are using Skype. They haven't all got Skype in numbers yet and it would cost me to call them from another VoIP service anyway. As far as I know I can't attach any other client to the Skype service...can I ?
I've got Skype too, it's running from inside a 32bit chroot when it is running, it annoys the hell out of me ;) As far as I know there are no other clients for Skype other than Skype's own (non-free, evil evil evil) software.
