After hearing a little bit about icedtea I thought I might give it a
try. I removed the Sun java stuff and tried to emerge but am not sure
how to handle the error message.

Also, which of the use flags make sense for a desktop machine? Is
nsplugin supported for amd64? javascript?

Thanks,
Mark

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!


[ebuild  N    ] dev-java/icedtea6-1.3.1-r2  USE="-cacao -debug -doc
-examples -javascript -nsplugin -pulseaudio -shark -zero"

 * Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-java/icedtea6-1.3.1-r2', 'merge') depends on
  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-java/icedtea6-1.3.1-r2', 'merge') (hard)

 * Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
 * disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.
