What are the differences between: jre-1.8.x.xx.sfs and jre-1.7.x.xx.sfs ?
I thought that the series 1.8 was more new ?!?

I think the last .67 is the last update number for that particular version. Important to note, JRE 7, updates 15 or earlier, JRE 6 updates 41 and earlier and JRE 5.0 updates 40 and earlier have security holes.

I would just stick with the latest. Notice it's a little bigger, though.

Has anyone put together any sfs of JDK 8? Google is being rather unhelpful.

IMO, this is the wrong forum for Java. The latest has been posted here.

Hi Shinobar
Thank you so much for making these Java SFS
Thanks to you I was able to have YAAC installed and running on my
Linux Laptop.

YAAC stands for Yet Another APRS Client. YAAC is APRS software that
allows Amateur Radio operators to track oher Hams running the
the protocol known as APRS Automatic Position Reporting System.

YAAC is a Java app. All I had to do to make it run on my Slacko 5.7.0
system is download the Java SFS you provided and then download
YAAC. Then simply click on the YAAC.jre file and YAAC started and worked
fine.

Again Thank you Shinobar for all that you do for the Puppy Linux
community.

Best Regards
John
