Having never used Linux before when you first starting using any Linux flavor, even the most simplest of tasks performed under Microsoft operating systems can cause you some trouble.
For programming and general purpose user I required Java JDK and JRE installed on my Ubuntu machine. See basic steps below on how this install takes place.
Installation of Java JRE
You can download the source code or self extracting binaries from the Sun Java site, however the quickest way on this OS is to complete the following:
1. Open a terminal window
2. Run sudo vi '/etc/apt/sources.list'
3. Add the following line to the bottom of the file:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
4. Run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
5. Accept all license terms etc..
6. Run java from terminal window to confirm installation
