Kim - (or anybody) Have you run into any issues installing jre 1.5 on Fedora? I've always installed 1.4.2 in the past - now on FC6, I've had problems installing both 1.4 and 1.5. The plugin from 1.4 seems to crash firefox, and 1.5 seems to conlict with openoffice and a list of other packages... Thanks, Chris PS - I'm investigating the alternatives to Sun's java right now, but their JRE has always been pretty solid in the past...
