Yes, this is very possible. So long as the program that you are trying to
run is written as 100% Java compliant and not as a J++ (MS's "enhanced"
version of Java 1.1). You will need to get the JRE (Java Run-time
Environment) for Linux. I would suggest the RPM package from java.sun.com.
Once this is installed, you will be able to run Java programs much the same
way they are run under Windows. I can provide more information off line if
you would like.

Subject: Java windows question
I have a friend (a win95 user) that wants to know if Linux can run Java
windows without using a browser. We want to install a minimal Linux on
several 486 machines to run only a dedicated Java program in a public place
such as at malls and county fairs. Since I don't know anything about Java
can someone give some details (please be explicit,) that I can forward to
him?
Thanks in advance!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Russ.
