Installing Java Runtime Environment on Linux

Issue

I was wondering how do you install Java Runtime Environment on the Acer Aspire One with Linpus Linux Lite
Could you please provide step by step instructions?

Solution

First download the LINUX version of the JDK from: http//:java.sun.com
It is the file
jdk-6u12-linux-i586-rpm.bin

First get a terminal window: right-click in the file manager "Open new terminal here", e.g. in the "My Documents"
Now you type:
sudo bash

Then start the installation by typing:
/jdk-6u12-linux-i586-rpm.bin


You might also want to check out then NetBeans IDE from www.netbeans.org. works fine my the Acer One 110L
