Oracle JRE (formerly : Sun JRE) is a standard environment that many people need it to fullfil many needs particularly in internet based activities. For me, I need Java Runtime Environment to download Youtube videos by using Keepvid that needs JRE browser plugin. But, so many newbie Linux users are confused about how to install JRE on Linux, particularly on Ubuntu Linux ? Actually, there are two choices to install JRE on Ubuntu Linux : (1) Install IcedTea Plugin (open source fork of Oracle Java), and it is installable via Ubuntu Software Center. (2) Install the official JRE package from Oracle. This way is more difficult and complicated than the first, but if want, we could follow the instruction from the download page. Technically, there is no difference between IcedTea and Oracle JRE plugin, but sometimes, a post-Windows users always ask how to install "real" JRE plugin on Ubuntu Linux.

It is a Qt based front-end for Mplayer, the (probably) greatest media player in Linux. By default, SMPlayer is capable to play almost all media format exist today.

The main difference between Windows and Linux is in the Software Management. In Windows, we can install any software easily by clicking the installer package and then enter the serial number (if proprietary) and then next next and finished. In Linux, it is little more complicated. In Linux, between one package and one another packages depend each other and then create a technical condition called Dependency Chain. Why is Software Management in Linux more complicated than in Windows? The answer is Linux and its FOSS is an open source project and it is undertaken by so many programmers in the world. One programmer create one package and the other create the other one that depends on the other programmer work. In simple word, Linux and FOSS is a worldwide team work and it is impossible to create a centralized software management and standardization like in Windows, unless the whole Linux community merged and create a mega enterprise and create a new one standard of software mana...
