Yes, Sun have changed their licences (last year sometime (2006)) so that its now much easier to install Java on linux. You can install it pretty easily from the command line now.
To install follow the quick and easy guide:
Have apt update its repository
sudo apt-get update
Next, tell it to install java.... simple.sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Its actually that easyTo check its installed correctly, type:
javac -version
to make sure the compiler is installed correctlyand
java -version
to ensure the runtime is installed correctly.Done!

Okies,
So, ive been using Ubuntu for what, probably a week now, and decided today that there must be an easy way to install MPlayer. Looking at the web, there are tons of long winded methods to installing but, this one is by far the easiest. Clocking in at five lines. It couldnt be easier.
First things first, you need to edit your sources.list file (/etc/apt/sources.list).
Type the following:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
* For those of you who arnt sure, sudo emulates the root (super) user so you will need to most probably type in your password after hitting enter. gedit is a text editor.If your using Ubuntu dapper, append the following lines:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
Or if your using Ubuntu Edgy, append the following lines:deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe multiverse
Next, click save and close.deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe multiverse
Finally, run these two commands again as the super (root) user:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mplayer
Hopefully, as long as everything has gone correctly, you will now have MPlayer installed on Ubuntu.sudo apt-get install mplayer
Good luck

Ok.
I take no credit for this, and am in no way responsible to how you use this link, but its actually a really good guide on how to install the NVIDIA drivers on linux.
I am in no way a linux guru and most of the time dont really have a clue and i found my way through this guide easily.
Good luck
