Yeah, it's pretty sad. For several years, Sun was stubbornly refusing to release a 64bit version of the browser plugin with their 64 bit JRE, so many users switched back to 32bit FF on 64bit systems. There may have been other plugins with the same lameness, but I think all of the 32/64 confusion with FF can be primarily blamed on Sun. I hope the OpenJDK becomes mainstream on most distros soon. tim _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
