If you want a good IDE for Java, try Sun Microsystem's SUN One Studio (Formely Forte) http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/ The download is free (community edition) and comes packaged with JDK 1.3. The Linux download is a a bin file, so all you have to do is download, click and install. It's a pretty big file (95MB), but it runs faster than Borland's JBuilder 6 personal edition...which btw is free. I'm running RH 7.2, but I think you can run it on most distributions. Good Luck! ===== Thanks, Alpha Zenon Sanchez __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo! Dial - First Month Free http://sbc.yahoo.com
