Also, look at the Getting Started Guide at http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/getting_started/v5/html/. The Guide provides installation instructions.
2) I run on Fedora Core 5, so I cannot comment directly on Ubuntu though I recall seeing some forum posts from Ubuntu users. . The JVM that comes with Linux distros is usually insufficient to run JBoss (or any app server), so you should also get a JDK from http://java.sun.com. A 1.4.2 JDK is fine, but if you plan to do any EJB3 work, you should get the 1.5 JDK.
3) No, but most people developing for JBoss use Eclipse or NetBeans. There is a JBoss-specific Eclipse plug-in at http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbosside/?prjlist=false.
4) I don't know.
5) If you have a 64-bit OS and install a 64-bit JDK, JBoss will run on it. There is no special 64-bit version of JBoss, or any pure Java application , for that matter. Any pure Java application will run on a 64-bit or 32-bit JVM. -

Tks for your advice and URL
The link
http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/index.html
providing Javaservice is not working anymore. Any alternative? Tks.I run on Fedora Core 5, so I cannot comment directly on Ubuntu though I recall seeing some forum posts from Ubuntu users. .

I also have FC5_64/32 bit boxes. On FC5_64 box running;
$ yum search "Java 5 LVM"
and
$ yum search jboss
They can't be found. Any repo carry with them. Or I have to download them from respective website?3) No, but most people developing for JBoss use Eclipse or NetBeans. There is a JBoss-specific Eclipse plug-in at http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbosside/?prjlist=false.
If I understand your advice correctly. Eclipse is the platform for developing JBoss not for my application.

You misinterpreted my point 3. While Eclipse is used to develop JBoss itself, most people use Eclipse or NetBeans to develop applications that run in JBoss. The Eclipse plug-in (JBoss Eclipse IDE) is for developing applications to use with JBoss. A similar plugin for NetBeans is in the works. -
