I use Blackdown.org's Java3d VM,
Sun's Forte / Netbeans ( free ) IDE,
Sun's VRML Loaders, Sun's OpenOffice.org / Star Office,
and Mozilla on Red Hat Linux 7.2
( I'll upgrade Red Hat when 8.1 comes out
in a few weeks ).
Everything works great, Unix ( and Linux )
were made by and for developers, convient
command line commands are available and
helpful: ps, kill, nice, sh, etc.
The archives have more info:
| Subject: Linux is great for Java3d: Avoid Crashing X-Windows
|
| Java3d runs very nicely on Linux.
|
| I highly reccomend it.
|
| And Java3d runs in Mozilla on Linux ( and windows ).
|
| Linux and the other Unixes were MADE
| for software developers and it's a nice environment,
| I use Sun's free Forte IDE.

The only minor complaint is people giving out source code don't always include the proper shell ( ".sh" ) files to execute the programs, but the Windows ".bat" can be converted by changing the "\" to "/", etc. Java is portable, it works, I do it all the time, my programs work in Windows & Linux, in Mozilla ( on both ) and Microsofts Internet Explorer ( on that Co's OS ) running with the Sun VRML Loaders animating Web3d.org's VRML based H-Anim Avatars with Gesture Animations in responce to user commands. Java applets runs nicely in Mozilla on Linux ( you have to set it up properly ).
