Ok here is one If you are having problem installing/running Limewire on linux try this
if your distro use rpms download the rpm off the Sun website
then download the limewire off the official website
Don't bother with limewire rpm it doesn't work weell. choose then one that ays "Other oses2
then uncompresss the file with ark front end or in terminal
the command for terminal is
unzip LimeWireOther.zip
Then return to the terminal go to the folder where you have the uncompressed file
and write this:
java -jar LimeWire.jar
If java is correctly installed this will lauch Limewire
Make a proper shortcut to access the file without the need of go to terminal every time and write that command again
and don't forget to inlude the command in the shortcut or it wont work
