    Yes ...
    Code:
    fingal@pickle ~]$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.1 (4.0.1-5mdk for Mandriva Linux release 2006.0)
    It's useful for running several applications I have.

    Hell yeah, I do.
    I view a lot of webpages that use Java. I like to play an occasional online Java game too.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    Yep. I have Sun's Java, which I needed for last semester's programming class, and GNU's Java, for those times when I want to compile machine code rather than byte code.

    To a certain extent with many other languages, the same principles applies. Interpreted languages can be run on multiple platforms if it doesn't have any OS specific code.

    Mono/.NET can be compiled once and run everywhere (everywhere .NET is supported that is) if I remember correctly. It gets tricky with winforms though and only part of .NET 2.0 is supported by Mono.

    To answer your question, yes, I do use Java.

    Absotutely, couldn't run anything without it.
    Code:
    $ java -version
java version "1.5.0_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_09-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
    It's imperative when you have jobs like TechieMoe and I have. By the way, if you're looking to start learning programming, I would start with either Java or Perl. They're two very different languages but, depending on the background, I think you could get a good grasp of programming languages from either one of them (one an interpreted language, the other a compiled language).

    I dont like scripting languages. I prefer C++ and QT4 API. Yesterday I took a look at Java tutorial. Its pretty easy, but I dont have time to learn it.
