    If you want to install anything using the terminal you have to type the word 'sudo' before the command so that you are given administrator permission.

    (You can also type sudo -s by itself to go into root user mode.)

    Java is kind of hopeless but if you want to run an app that uses java post it and i'll tell you what a good alternative is.

    As far as flash goes. Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package manager to try and install stuff. Search for 'flash', if flashplugin-installer doesnt work then there is also a program called swfdec which might work.

    Yeah, thats because adobe doesnt make flash for the PPC architecture (intel and AMD processors are built using a design called the x86 architecture).

    But anyways, try installing gnash and mozilla-plugin-gnash using synaptic.
