As I recently pointed out, Sun finally changed its license so that distros like Debian can include the Sun JRE. Thanks, Sun! Here's the command you need to run:

apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-fonts sun-java5-bin

That'll do it, fair readers.

This is a page I'd copy & save on your machine, in case you ever have "issues" and need to refer to something like a cheatsheet. Titled "Debian networking", it's just that: a quick overview of the key files and commands that Debian uses for gettin' on the Net. I love stuff like this, since it makes my life easier.
