Hi there I am running a well patched Fedora 8 and most things work just fine. One show stopper I have at the moment though is when I try to set up a Webex session (using Firefox 2.0.12 - the latest production release version ). When I go to start a meeting the system gets to the "starting meeting" dialog and then just stops. No amount of cajoling or trying will get me past this screen. I have not installed the Sun Java, but I do have the iced tea version (java-1.7.0-icedtea - 1.7.0.0.0.19.b21 snapshot.fc8.i586 IcedTea Runtime Environment The webex help pages all make it sound as though Webex should install and run easily in a Linux environment. Has anyone else had this problem? It could be related to the Sun Java not being installed, but I'd like to know if that's the case before I have to switch from the IcedTea runtime
Thanks!
Chris

Don't know about webex, but I certainly couldn't get the citrix java client to work until I installed the official Sun java (which, incidentally, is almost impossible to determine how to do if you happen to encounter the wrong web page first - you want to go to java.com and press the big green button - you DO NOT want to go to sun.java.com and try to find your way between the twisty maze of acronyms, all different :-).

Can't say I've tried it in F8, but I've had no problems in F7 using Sun's java.
