Does that install a capable mozilla plugin?
I currently use blackdown J2SDK - but sometimes when a new distro is  
released and gcc is updated it breaks until a new blackdown is  
released.

A JRE in the distro would solve that issue, so long as it has a java  
plugin that works. This also would be desirable for PPC machines, as  
Blackdown doesn't (to my knowledge) provide a ppc JRE.
