== Installing Java for Debian 6 Squeeze ==

{{{
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
# for sun-java packages in unstable
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free

apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

The Sun installer will present a license in a curses form.  Depending on your terminal emulator, arrow keys may not work for navigation.  If not, try !^f and !^b to navigate to the <ok>, and enter to select.  Then you'll be asked to accept (or not) the license -- again use !^f or !^b to move to <yes> and hit enter.
