64 bits?  

There isn't a java plugin for the 64 bit operating systems.  If you 
google Ubuntu 64 bit applet plugin you'll find the information you need.  

If you aren't running 64 bits then it is just a matter of installing the 
plugin in your browser.  Again google is your friend.

  acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.
