Moved to Ubuntu 9.10

After all my effort of fighting away the virus attacks in my WinXP environment, I decided to move to Ubuntu.  I feel the time and resource put on virus scanners, isn't worth it. So I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and setup my test environment there.

This blog is about the test enviro nment setting-up (which can be useful next time I think of a change)

Software that were gathered;

Sun JDK1.6 - jdk-6u2-linux-i586.bin

idea - idea-8.0.tar.gz

ant - apache-ant-1.7.0-bin.zip

tomcat - apache-tomcat-6.0.10.zip

directoryStudio - ApacheDirectoryStudio-linux-x86-1.5.3.v20100330.tar.gz
