Linux poker site support
On the Ongame ( Pokerooom, Hollywood Poker, Bet24 etc ) network, you can use your firefox browser and the java ( the client is run as an java applet ).
Installing the required java plugin is needed for this to work, and you will of course need to enable java script on the pokerroom website.
Download the Java Runtime Environment from Sun.
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6
The current file is called jre-6-linux-i586.bin
Then run the bourne shell script
$ sh jre-6-linux-i586.bin
To make Firefox use the libjavaplugin you can create a symlink from the extracted jre directory to your Firefox plugin directory.
$ cd .mozilla/plugins
$ ln -s jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
You will need to restart Firefox to start using the libjavaplugin.
Now you should be set to play at all the Ongame poker sites.
