I tried it - SuSE Linux 5.3 (updates applied) and Netscape
Navigator 4.08. It spiralled a slow and painful death. I
used the Java Console to reclaim memory, but it was gobbling
it up faster than it could be reclaimed. I then tried Alt+Q,
which quit the graphics, but there was still a process alive
and consuming 97% of the CPU's processing time.
I would have to say Java on Linux is just as stable as on
Windows 95/98.
