        Many, many. Since I am using a quite old machine with only
        64MB and PowerPC programs seem to be bigger than their x86
        counterparts, I need to use only smaller programs. But I have
        Window Maker and blackbox installed.

        If you also want some Desktop Environments (not window
        managers!) like KDE and GNOME, they are also available.

        Do you *need* rlogin? Can't you use Open SSH?

        Depending on what you need, gcj may be what you want.

        On the other hand, I see that incoming.debian.org has j2sdk1.3
        packages, but they don't seem to have entered debian now.

        It will be worth it.
