Hi, I had my first try couple of weeks ago with Geoserver 2.1 beta1 and Jetty and the hardest part was to get sun-java installed on the new Ubuntu 10.04 virtual server. The link below helped me but I had to do one additional installation before successful Java installation. Unfortunaly I do not remember any more what it was, propably I was prompted to install something with sudo apt-get.
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html#more-5267 The main thing was that "apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-fonts" does not work out-of-the-box and in the thread there are instructions about what to do "after adding the new repo you need to update the apt database, i.e. sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts" Other link I used was http://sites.google.com/site/jukkahellen/preparingubuntuforgeoserver What I still miss is advice on how to keep Geoserver running on the virtual server after closing the remote SSH console. Perhaps it is to use "nohup" in some place. -Jukka Rahkonen- Wolfgang Wasserburger wrote: Lähetetty: pe 5.11.2010 3:13 Vastaanottaja: 'Mike Pumphrey'; 'johnrobot' Kopio: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] How to install GeoServer on Ubuntu?

Hi Magnus. What do you mean that page isn't informative? :) I unfortunately don't have an answer (not much of a Linux user) but if someone comes through with a viable installation checklist, I will gladly add it to the docs.
