[nflug] Fedora 7 Review

[Cyber Source]

Well I read your review and was specifically looking to see about java, 
as Fedora has seemingly boned this again. I have a client that 
specifically requested Fedora 7 (not our latest Ubuntu dump) and I'm in 
rpm hell right off the bat trying to NOT use Fedora's gcj java but Suns. 
I install it, see where the plugin is for the jre and put a symlink in 
place like always, my about:plugins returns and shows the plugin is 
there and enabled in Firefox but on all tests, they just sit there and 
think that it is not installed. I also read the release notes about 
using Suns java and it refers to method that rebuilds an older java rpm. 
I really don't miss Fedora for these exact type of things.....
Would you have a clue as to what is going on with it showing but not 
working? I have tried the "alternatives" command but this does not even 
show the installed rpm package and I also have NOT gone the route of 
release notes as I don't want an older version of java if I don't have 
to. The gcj java shows installed when it is and actually does work with 
tests online but does not work with pogo, and all the old ladies love 
their pogo!
