In summary, Appletviewer is a command-line tool used to run Java applets in a web browser. In Linux, it opens a separate window for the applet and requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) to be installed. It has minimum system requirements of 512 MB of RAM and a 1 GHz processor, as well as a web browser with Java support. It can run any Java applet in Linux, but some may require additional plugins or libraries. Common issues can be troubleshooted by ensuring the latest version of Java is installed, meeting minimum requirements, and checking for error messages in the console or log files.

To run appletviewer using gcj on Debian linux, you can follow these steps:

1. Install gcj and the necessary dependencies on your Debian linux system. This can be done using the command "sudo apt-get install gcj" in the terminal.

2. Once gcj is installed, you can use the command "appletviewer" followed by the URL of the applet you want to run. For example, if the applet is located at "http://example.com/applet.html", the command would be "appletviewer http://example.com/applet.html".

3. If you encounter any errors while running the applet, make sure that all the necessary dependencies are installed and that the applet is compatible with gcj.

4. If the applet still does not run properly, you can try using the "appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=applet.policy" command. This specifies a security policy file for the applet, which may be required for it to run correctly.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, you can refer to the gcj documentation or seek help from the Debian linux community.
