Hello, Bela.

Good stuff! I noticed Taverna appear in your public deb repository :-)

I've installed it from the *.deb repository on wildcat.rri.sari.ac.uk 
under Debian 'stable' (i.e not under Bio-Linux) but it crashed and 
burned: can't find the plugins folder. Anyone else had this problem?

I've installed the Sun 1.5.0_03 JRE under Debian using java-package, and 
Jemboss works fine.

Best wishes,

	Tony.
