How do I install Eclipse in Mint Linux?

Q. I'm trying to install Eclipse on my computer with Mint Linux to do some Java and Android development. Using Google Chrome, I downloaded the correct version of Eclipse. It's in my downloads folder as a .tar.gz. When I double click on it, it takes me to the archive manager and shows the folders. How do I install it?

A. The command:

tar -xvf

will untar the file. Then cd to the directory that you unzipped and type :

more README

and read that file. There may be and INSTALLATION file -- read that as well. The normal installation routine goes something like this:

./configure

followed by

./make

then

./make install

and that should do it.

How do I install a program on UNIX OS?
Q. I would like to know how to install a program on Linux without having to use the software center tool, I want to install it from scratch by myself but the only issue I have is that I dont know how. That is the only thing that is holding my horses from switching to Linux or Fedora. If you could write on a step by step format it would be better for me to understand.

A. You unzip the source archive, then go to a terminal and enter:

cd [enter the location of where you put it here]
./configure
make
sudo make install

Or you may mean downloading rpm files manually, which unless you can't find what you want (you'd go to http://rpmfind.net ) is not recommended as they could've been tampered with and you also won't get updates for that package.

If you want a good amount of packages then switch to a Debian-based distro.

How can I crack the user password on a Win2000 account?
Q. We have here at our church a donated computer on which a user account has expired. The donor, the original administrator, does not remember his password unfortunately... There are quite some important files behind this user account. I know about Linux installation etc but can't do that (don't have Linux). Starting in safe mode did not work either. Is there some program I can use?
Thanks! x D-J in L.A.

A. I have used the Offline NT Password & Registry editor at work a few times after somebody forgot the admin password.
It works really well, just follow instruction on the link below, file download is near bottom of page.
It looks alot more complicated than it really is........trust me!
All you need is to unzip and write it to floppy disk using the bat file supplied in the zip file.
Although it says NT it works on NT/2000/XP (looks into the computers SAM file which holds the passwords)

Hope this helps.
