Optimizing your use of Tarantella

Tarantella includes extra components for some client devices that make using Tarantella even smoother.

Java™ archive for Tarantella

Tarantella uses Java™ applets, which web browsers must download before use. For some web browsers we supply a Java™ archive: this can be downloaded once and installed locally on your client device, which speeds up access to Tarantella and your applications. It's automatically updated when you connect to a newer version of Tarantella.
