i have a dual boot system with XP and knoppix.
i am not very well versed when it comes to linux, but i can't really concentrate on learning linux because i am stuck using windows for all the programming stuff i do.

i tried to download the compiler and interpreter from java.sun.com but i really don't know how to make it install or run. as i said im not well versed in linux. can i apt-get them someway?

any help would be appreciated
