The problem is though, linux-java jvm on FBSD is not working very well (I'm not sure if this is fixed already). All linux plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, etc worked except when loading java applet, the browser would hang up and eat all system resources. I'm using FBSD native mozilla for this reason alone because FBSD native jvm works. This problem has persisted for a long time and I'm not sure if it ever got fixed. I believe this should apply to Opera browser (or not?) regarding to plugins. >From: Jud <judmarc@fastmail.fm> >To: kalts@estpak.ee, BSD baby <bsd@hitmedia.com> >CC: ai1@mtaonline.net, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: Opera browser native FreeBSD (was Re: AbiWord) >Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2003 06:12:41 -0500 > >On Thu, 6 Mar 2003 10:23:02 +0200, Vallo Kallaste <kalts@estpak.ee> wrote: > >>On Thu, Mar 06, 2003 at 12:10:52AM -0800, BSD baby <bsd@hitmedia.com> >>wrote: >> >>>Browser-based apps are what I do, all day. >>> >>>And Opera is the best, by far: >>> >>>http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/?platform=freebsd >>> >>>FreeBSD native.
