Thats not very nice, is it? Provided that the default permissions of
/home/gavin are not changed, any other user who runs 'java' will get an
error. Otherwise its a security risk.

He should either install it as root in /usr or /opt or whereever or link
it to your own 'bin' directory which is usually in the user's path.

Do this:

`ln -s /home/gavin/jrexxx/bin/java ~/bin/java`
(note that it says jre, not j2sdk since that is only needed if he is
doing development)

as user 'gavin'.

Instead of Limewire you could also try the open source 'gtk-gnutella'
which works very well for me. ;-)
