True. But there is charva that can, in some circumstances, interface to a 
gui app:

And, gnopernicus, the GNOME screen reader is coming along and will support 
Java.

So, while the stars may net yet be perfectly aligned, it may be a good 
time to get comfortable in Linux in order to take advantage of the Java 
support which is in the queue.

PS: You may want to look at our Red Hat installation HOWTO for the generic 
support it offers about making the transition from Windows to Linux, even 
if you intend to install Debian or Slackware. It's at:
