The following VMs are available for generation-2:
1)      Blackdown 32bit JRE 1.4.2.03 [emul-linux-x86-java-1.4.2]
2)      Sun 32bit JRE 1.6.0.02 [emul-linux-x86-java-1.6]
3)      Sun JDK 1.5.0.12 [sun-jdk-1.5]
*)      Sun JDK 1.6.0.02 [sun-jdk-1.6]

So I am using the 1.6 jdk from Sun

browser is Konqueror from KDE 3.5.7
No special settings.
