Question: I’ve been trying to install Java into Linux for two days to no avail.?
I’m new to linux and I knew they would be a learning curve, but this is ridiculous. First off, I have Kubuntu 8.04 on my PC. I tried installing Java through the Adept installer and the Synaptic Package Manger. Adept says Java 6 Runtime is installed. Wonderful, but Firefox can’t see it. So, from the command line, I just typed “sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin \sun-java6-fonts” It replies that they’re both already the newest version. How nice. But when I type java -version, it tells me “command not found” and offers me 9-10 different packages ‘java’ can be found in. I tried the directions on Java’s website, and that was unsuccessful as well (sorry, can’t remember specifics…I should have written down for each of these install failures). I’m a pretty smart guy and can usually figure these things out by trying every suggestion I can find on the web (I’ve tried countless). This is discouraging. I was really looking forward to making the leap to Linux.

Before you answer I’ve already tried searching, and i dont need someone to just leave a random “freefont.com” url. Most of those free font sites only have like 20 generic free fonts. Im looking for the specific font “Garamond Antiqua” and/or “Gill Sans MT Bold”. Any help would be great. Thanks
