Using Tomcat but need to do more?
That's excellent news! While I am frustrated by sites that *require* the use
of Flash, sometimes I do need to visit them. Sadly, though, Debian 64-bit does
not seem to have this package [yet]. :(

Hi Bhaskar,
Yep, I agree that the package management under Linux (in particular with Debian
and Debian-like) is excellent. I was thinking more about installing something
like a flash player or "John Doe's Software" where a .deb or .rpm file is not

If you would like a command in the current directory (wherever you may be) to

Kevin,
1. It's like a DOS command line, but the ./ tells linux to look in the
current directory.
2. Some installers/upgrade tools require to specify a source, like
sourceforge, freshrpms etc., and if you don't provide one they look in
your 'installation source', i.e. the cd you installed fro
