This is strange, it worked for me.

Although it's nice to have java around (I need it for my bank things), you can add http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/languages/java/linux/debian/ to your /etc/apt/sources.list (see man apt) and 'apt-get j2re1.3' which includes a plugin for netscape and mozilla (that works with konqueror). You'll have to configure konq though (see settings >> configure konq >> netscape plugins). > says.....

I brought a huge 1000+ page book on linux that says how I think you really want to go to http://www.ibiblio.org/Linux/ there's a huge amount of info there, not always up-to-date, but good enough. I think there is also some 'guides' on really basic stuff. And of course you'll have to know the following commands: 'man' is useful to find out the syntax of commands and 'apropos' to find them in the first place (see man apropos;). On debian systems you'll have to know about apt-get and dpkg (but I think you met them already), and apt-cache to find useful things you haven't installed yet. > to do some things..say it will say "using linuxconf do so and so" , > but linuxconf is not installed on my system and from reading on the > net its supposedly pretty insecure so I dont wish to install it..
