[SLUG] Java

[Sharon Doig <po_box_304@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The chat room I want to access is a private one for paid subscribers.
I have logged in to it and because I don't have a Sun Java plug in
nothing shows up in the chat window. 

Thank you for all the advise. I think I will ask hubby to install
Blackdown. 

I am glad to have found a friendly bunch of linux people here.
I thought there would be atleast a chance of finding some graphics
/photographic people here because of the big area Sydney covers.
I don't know if there are any photographic people in Canberra 
who use linux.

Cheers.

Sharon Doig.


Ive used both on AMD 64.
Konqueror works with java 1.6, but it came undone when I tried to use a
secure site. Worked great with runescape but not with the Uni log in.
I ended up using Blackdown, and am yet to find a problem.
Of course it really annoys me not having the latest stuff, especially
when its 1.4 - two versions behind, but it has worked with everything 
so
far, so can't complain.

as I can make out there isn't one made by Sun. Can people suggest if 
blackdown java is any good? I have an AMD 64 bit architecture laptop 
running Suse 10.2. I need the java plug in to access a chat room for my
