Java Web Start allows you to download and run Java applications outside
the browser. The plug-in only allows applets to be run within the
browser. This of JWS as a method for loading applications on demand
rather than having to install them permanently on your hard drive.

This is a personal choice and it's really not that important for GUI apps.
FWIW, I run 850,437 here. The config.sys codepage setting defines what
codepages command line apps can use. The config.sys setting also defines
the default code page for GUI applications that don't have other ways to
set the default. GUI apps can use any codepage. The config.sys setting
is a hint at best.

Google is you friend. Java Virtual Machine.

How much RAM do you have? How fast is your CPU? If you are swapping, you
should set the initial swap size to just a bit more than your average swap
size.

Every now and thing a site will support it.

As long as the drivers support the onboard sound hardware, yes.

Google?
