I have installed salix-xfce-14 (32bit) and updated it. It is working very well but when I tried to install Freemind application (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download), I am not able to do it. I tried both by converting and installing rpm file and by trying to install exe version through wine, but it gives following error:
java 1.4 or greater not detected.
The command 'java -version' at terminal shows:
java version "1.7.0_40"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.0) (Slackware)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 24.0-b40, mixed mode)
OpenJDK/IcedTea is not compatible with all java apps and you may find a particular app will only run using closed source Oracle java. If you want to run Oracle java you will have to purge/disable your system of OpenJDK/IcedTea and then install Oracle java using the following instructions...
root[rich]# slapt-src -i freemind
The following packages will be installed:
freemind

Well, in general, you should always avoid those methods.
