What do you nean by 'tolerate' Java? What are the disadvantages of
installing Java?
It's big, it's slow, it has it's own concept of human interface instead
of inheriting that from the windowing toolkit; it isn't part of the
base distribution so you have to track updates separately. And for the
paranoid set - it's controlled by a company with its own agenda.
