Hi Hans,

Thanks for your advice; I'm always struggling with the right java version for linux, in my case the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint 14 Nadia.

I tend to use for java install (got there while clicking via your link) The java on 'your link seems only for RedHat, OpenSuse etc; the link I use is 'specially for deb-based distro's':

http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en

I then add the repository:
deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all

I add the key via terminal:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26

and then run both commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre

When I try to UNinstall 'IcedTea' via Software Manager (or Synaptic) I get all kinds of different options / entries making me confused about which to uninstall and / or which not to touch...
So I left that part alone...

I'll test the latest Linux Mint / Ubuntu version of SH3D now!

Kind regards,

Ed
