Subject: [wwwdocs, Java] Remove obsolete FAQ entry re old GNU/Linux versions
Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2012 14:08:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1210211605560.2076@tuna.site> (raw)

While looking for something else I found this (and in general it
looks like the GCJ FAQ could use some spring cleaning).

Lots of "might be possible" in addition to this being really about
quite older versions of GNU/Linux.

Applied.
