    icedtea-java7-jre ??

    I have tried to install the DEB file for Limewire and it always gives me the same error message.
    Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk

    i went to the software center and found an update called "iced tea java plugin" I installed it but it did not help. does anyone have any ideas?

    Be sure and have a look at GTK-Gnutella too, it's not Java based and I think you might like it.

    APT = Advanced Package Tool

    To install software with apt, it must be available in the configured repositories. Repositories are listed primarily in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.

    All of this can be done via graphical tools, but it's easier on a forum to give a couple commands that can be copied than try to direct through a slew of menus. (There's even a Firefox addon to run terminal commands with a right click menu.)

    There's far too much to apt to give a detailed description here, but there's lots of info online.
