Yes, I’m stuck in the installation of Java in my Debian Sarge laptop.

I’m installing Hipergate 2.1 (a collaborative web-based application). This needs the following:

1) Apache [Web server] - I managed through “aptitude” (Apache 2.0.54 is now on Sarge).

2) Java [Servlet] - I’m trying to install version 1.4+ SDK, although I’ve been recommended to “debianize” the installation (that’s it, try to create the .deb package by means of the java-package + dpkg + aptitude).

3) Tomcat [Servlet container] - First I need to finish the Java installation, but once I’ve done it, I think it’ll be easy.

4) PostgreSql [SQL Database] - Version 7.4.7 available via “aptitude”.

I tell you when I’m done!

Brilliant! Debian Sarge fully functional in desktop mode after sorting out the problems with the XFree86 configuration. I have been able to initiate a session with Gnome 2.8.

Sotfware I’m planning to install & test in the short run:

_Office suite - OpenOffice.org
_Web server - Apache

By the way, I’m not a geek!
