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
