[Live-demo] Re: Prune on OSGeo-Live 5.5

 > Which version of prune should be installed on our next OSGeo-Live 5.5 
release?
Answer: whichever is easiest for you to install (the same answer as last 
time :)
I believe (although I can't immediately find a confirmation) that you'll 
be using Ubuntu 11.04 (aka Narwhal) for the 5.5 release.  If that's 
true, then Prune 12 is in the repositories for you (still).  If you take 
this one, the install script doesn't change, the version doesn't change, 
and the docs don't need to change.
If you really want to take the version from the 11.11 (Ocelot) 
repositories, then you'll get Prune 12.1, but you'll need to specify the 
other repository so that may be awkward for your install script.  
Alternatively, Prune 13.1 is in the 12.04 (Pangolin) repositories, or 
version 13.2 is in Debian Testing.
The choice is yours, but v12 is least effort for you.

 > Can Prune use OpenJDK's JRE instead of Sun JRE?
Answer: Yes, it should work fine.  Last time I tried it, all the 
functionality worked fine, just the rendering of the text looked a bit 
ugly for my eyes.  I've heard that was a common complaint, but maybe 
it's changed/improved since then, I haven't tried it recently.

 > Can Prune finally have a menu item in an easily-findable place, like 
the other applications on the live DVD?
Answer: I hope so!
