[geeks] Java on Windows 2000

[William S.]

Just last week I installed the JRE for my Thinkpad 600e
now running XP. I went to the SUN site directly and downloaded
it. The install was _very_ easy since it used the usual
install wizard that mostly asks what folder you want to
put it in and where the icons should be placed.
