Kind of. Since switching I have been pining for my online scrabble in linux. Well, they have it in java now and it does work. But only as root. I have to su (well sux, actually).

Is this a bad thing?

If someone can get it run as user please let me know. It bugs out after language selection when loading the board if I try it.
