I could hardly get it downloaded. I believe the installer needs work.
Windows installer works great installing everything in both of my computer
but I was able to just download Navigator with Java2 but nothing more. They
seems to put more focus on Windows than Linux. If so, why bother putting
the Linux version on the website when it is almost impossible to finish
complete download?
