Fedora 9 (Sulphur) was released earlier today, complete with a set of OpenJDK 6 packages. Dead-simple installation instructions can be found here.

As an added bonus these packages have also been contributed into the EPEL project, a community-run effort to make Fedora packages available to users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, CentOS 5, and other RHEL 5 derivatives.

Neither these packages nor the Ubuntu packages would’ve been possible without the continued efforts of many folks at Red Hat, so thanks again to Lillian Angel, Tom Fitzsimmons, Andrew Haley, Francis Kung, Keith Seitz, Joshua Sumali, and Karsten Wade.

A good start First Ubuntu, now Fedora 9, RHEL, and friends—I’d say we’re off to a pretty good start in our campaign to get OpenJDK 6 into every major Linux distribution.
