Hi All,
i am running Debian stable (squeeze) and have java installed
6.26-osqueeze1 as a package.
Firefox uses this package but when I asked it to check if plugins are
up to date it says nope, need version 7...
So am I right in thinking that v6.26 is old (and thus the advice to
upgrade to 7) but
Thanks for that, I appreciate it
Cheers

I have a server that provides a nfs share to several computers on my

Do I need to mount this share on the server itself before I access it
