OK, my first real venture into Linux.

I have been tasked here at work to bring up a Linux box and try to
intergrate it into our network.  So far so good, but, we have several
web based apps that require Java to be running on the browser.  Well,
neither Mozilla nor Konqueror have it installed by default.  I have
looked around the net and have found some info reguarding this but, it
is a little over my Microsoft impaled brain.

Therefore, is there someone who can do his or her best "linux for
dummies" and explain how I can get this fired up and running so I can
access and run our web based apps?

My eternal gratitude.

In case you need to look this up again and don't find the link:
enter "about :plugins" in Mozilla's location bar, and use the second link
given there.

Is <http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html> any use?

You can download the 'developer' (SDK) and 'runtime only' (JRE) binaries
from <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html> where there are
detailed instructions for installation.

I found that after the install I couldn't use Java as a non-root user.
About --> Plugins produced a list sans Java.  At least when doing a
global install as root, may be different if you install in your
personal dir.

I found that the directories under /usr were not available to the
users.  Changing the Java dir and dirs under it to 755 did the trick.
