[Tfug] Convince me to use SID

[Kyle Buehler]

 I had the java problem too. Mozilla 1.3 will only use java 1.4:

Download the 3.2 compiled version here.
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/java/blackdown/JDK-1.4.1/i386/01/

 It's not packaged yet, but if you extract it to /usr/local then symlink the
mozilla javaplugin_oji.so to your mozilla plugins directory it should work.
Java 1.4 doesn't seem as robust as 1.3 for web browsing, but that's my
opinion.
