Missing Repository Packages?

[Matt Patterson]

I dont think that you will find the sun package in the repository. There 
are very nice instructions for installing just about anything on the 
ubuntu guide (someone correct me ubuntuguide.org). I know they have them 
for java since i followed them back when I installed Java.
