i'm just trying it out - it looks really neat. i got it working by 
setting /usr/local/bin/j2re..../javaws/javaws as the application for 
application/x-java-jnlp-file files. (having already downloaded the j2re 
runtime environment).

do you know roughly how much CPU it takes to burn a CD at maybe 8x? i.e. what 
kind of machine would we need for this, and could it do anything else as 
well?
