The Web Start application has the advantage that the OT is downloaded and installed on your computer with a single click in a browser, and because any updates to the OT will be automatically detected and installed. However, OpenJDK versions of Java such as IcedTea that are common on many modern Linux installations have proved to be problematic and thus we recommend that the distribution from Sun (now Oracle) be used instead. In the event that Web Start cannot be used, a tarball version is also provided.
