I have a generic handout on JOGL installation that I give to all students.  However, since most people do better with examples, it includes some platform-specific examples; since most of my students use Windows I chose that for the parenthetical examples.   I've also discovered that Linux users are generally able to figure things out given Windows instructions, whereas the reverse isn't quite so true.  But having the os.and.arch tag in the name made it sound like it matters, when of course in this case it doesn't.  As you say, it just generates confusion.

I do particularly like the platform-independence provided by having the natives in jars which are loaded automatically.

Thanks for the replies.  Keep up the great work you guys are doing.
