I had the same problem. I tried to install SO8 in different distributions of Linux, but fail.

Did anyone who iinstalled So8 in Linux successfully share his experiences to all?

To install S08 in Windows is quite easy, but it is very very very difficult in Linux. Is it the philosophy of SUN that they intend to promote MS rather than open-souurce sofrwares?
