I installed the Java runtime environment and it was easy to do and works
fine. And now the Konqueror browser runs Applets too (better than IE 5.1
under OS X does, I might add, which is the only OS X browser so far to
support Java).

But why doesn't Mandrake Linux install the Java runtime environment to
start with? Surely everybody wants to use it, right?
