Edubuntu 7.04 Local Application Support

[Jim Kronebusch]

Has anyone managed to get local apps working yet?  I would like to run Firefox and
associated apps such as flash and java locally with sound support.  Is this possible yet
or does much of the work still need to be laid out?  I am running the 64-bit version and
Flash/Java support under 64-bit Firefox isn't exactly great.  So I thought if I could
load these apps locally I could get away with the 32-bit versions of the OS while
offloading these tasks from the server.

I know I could run 32-bit FF on the server, but I will be running 110 clients and am not
sure if the 32-bit version will scale well enough.  I currently have flash working under
64-bit with nswrapper, but sound is broken and I still don't know what to do about Java.

Thanks,
