Yes.  I wonder if it's necessary.  I'm new to this topic and in no way 
think I'm sharper than the devs on Freenet, but during my first overview 
of the application I'm wondering why I'm storing somebody else's data on 
my hard drive.  Could it be put into RAM instead?  Do other anonymous 
p2p apps have a datastore?  I'm currently googling, feel free to tell me 
if I'm being a bonehead.  :)

Yes.  I dislike going outside of the fedora repo.  (My graphics card 
gets unhappy with every kernel update.  Yuck.)  How are you keeping Java 
up to date?

Naw I'm not.
