Linux Communicator 4.x (which, in my personal opinion, is not particularly modern) supports JDK 1.1 (which is absolutely not modern). Linux Netscape 6.01 is dynamically linked against Linux shared objects (which means you would have to install an entire Linux X/GTK environment just to run the browser, at which point, why not just run Linux). -Michael Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
