Talk:Install Java

By the way, there is a useful web page you tech support folks might not know of. It covers a number of the issues you document here, and other similar ones. (It's geared toward Ubuntu 5.0.4, but I think most of the advice would work for any recent Debian-based distro.)

Ubuntu? structure of this page?

I am having trouble figuring out how to install Java under Ubuntu. I wonder whether this page could be restructured, with headings more like:

• Ubuntu
  • option 1 (blackdown)
  • option 2 (sun)
  • option 3 (compile from source)
• Freekbox 3
  • option 1
  • optoin 2
• Freekbox 2
  • option 1
  • option 2

10.04

I think it now comes as part of the ubuntu-restricted-extra's which should be installed during the class. need to check Paulm 21:45, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Merger Suggestion

Would suggest merging this with [Multimedia_and_DVDs_in_Ubuntu] as the Restricted Extras do appear to include this. I have edited it down and updated the links where I can, however this information is mostly of historical interest. Rhean 18:07, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
