Thanks for the pointers, I tried compiling native Java
a while back and had some problems, but I may try
again. (And compling native mozilla takes a really,
really long time.)

But that also means I can't use Opera, which only has
a linux version.

And does plugger support linux plugins, even with a
native browser? I haven't tried that yet.

Thanks!
