Hello Andrea.
Would it be too much to ask of you, if you could tell me the simplest way to install everything I need to learn to program using Java or Java Beans? I tried one time but it didn't install properly :( Thank you in advance.
P.S.> Do you know of any link to go to for learning to use Fortran in Linux from the command line? I'm just starting programming in college next month and there are a few of my favs. i.e., VB 6 and C# is pretty nice also :)
Thanks again,
John
