Description
Linux users often won't have Oracle Java installed nor webstart browser plugins. Insight is a disaster with OpenJDK 6 and it is a pain to explain how to get Oracle's javaws integrated with browsers.
I would suggest that:
- for Debian, wheezy (version 7) users install icedtea-7-plugin, later install icedtea-plugin
- for Ubuntu, precise (version 12.04) users install icedtea-7-plugin, later install icedtea-plugin
- goodness knows for CentOS, etc.

As a part of this certainly worth trying to determine from the QA db if we have that info. If not, we could/should add it.

Do we have stats on the proportion of Linux webstart users?
