  Are you referring to the jre?  I'd spent a couple of weeks 
fooling with Sun's jre, jdk, etc to no avail.  Went to 
blackdown.org & got their jre, worked like a charm.  Less hassle 
to do, as well.

  What sound?  Just in Mozilla, or the box.  First you have to 
find out if your sound card is even recognized.  What distro are 
you running?  There must be a tool for that, otherwise, you 
could check for a sound howto at linuxdocs.org (which I see 
they've now changed -- it may be easier to find what your after 
now).

  How much swap is there?  Having 64MB RAM will, sadly, make X 
rather slow (seems any less than 128MB these days is a drag), 
but it should still be workable -- if, of course, you've a 
decent swap.  I've found, after numerous installs with different 
swap sizes, that RH 7.x is best with even more than 256MB swap.  
Silly, maybe, but my current install has a 500MB swap, & it's 
the "happiest" I've seen this box since beginning to fool with 
7.x releases.

  That depends on how much you like colour depth.  I ~like~ 
more, others are happy with either 8- or 16-bit colour.  I've 
hated that since Winows released their 3.0 (even dos was able to 
do better than guis on low bit colour).  But, they higher the 
bit rate, the slower the rendering, so yes, either 8- or 16-bit 
colour would likely speed things up, but will y ou like sitting 
in front of your 'puter -- particularly when RAM is particularly 
affordable these days.
