Ubuntu 10.04

Have used ubunutu(several releases) for quite some time. Few things I had difficulty with were
1. installing sun java 1.5 with ubuntu 10.04. Since th default jdk/jre is 1.6 you will have to remove that first, then add the jaunty repositories for java in sources.lst and then refresh then try to install the jdk/jre 1.5. The key is some of your application software requires java 1.5 and having two set of java/jdk does conflict when some of the program by default uses java 1.6 during its installation and then during run time we force it to use jaav 1.5 by update-alternatives --config java.

2. VPN- This gave me quite some sleepless nights to configure, but then i found out openconnect . This has compatibility wiht cisco any connect(which is often used by lots of ppl) and is much more easier to configure than cisco client. No changes to mozilla files etc in this.
