linux: bootloader file location

I have an ASUS F3SV laptop. It's dual boot Vista / Ubuntu. In the boot menu, if I choose the first Vista menu option, the boot loader will be corrupted, making me unable to start up Ubuntu and Vista.

I have no problems getting if into Vista if I choose the 2nd Vista menu option. So, to prevent me from choosing the first Vista option in the first place, I simply commented that option in

/boot/grub/menu.lst

java/linux: Setup ClassPath in Unix/Linux (ubuntu) on your .bashrc

If you want to be able to call eclipse / ant / java from any prompt in your linux system, then
edit your .bashrc and add this lines :

# User specific environment and startup programs
export ECLIPSE_HOME=/usr/local/eclipse
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant

PATH=$PATH:$ECLIPSE_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin

export PATH


note: $PATH is how your current path is configured. If you type in echo $PATH in the command line, you should see something like this
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:

The colon ":" is simply just the delimiter.

Once you've edited your .bashrc, reboot your pc (or type ctrl + alt + backspace) for your new settings to take effect. After you've rebooted, type the following from the command line and see the results :

echo $JAVA_HOME
