How to install LimeWire in Ubuntu

I think many of you heard and even used LimeWire on Windows. LimeWire is a P2P (peer-to-peer) software used to share files between users. I will now tell you how to install LimeWire in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

1. To start the installation of LimeWire you should go here and download your free copy of LimeWire.
2. After you finished downloading the .deb file, double-click it and GDebi Package Installer will pop-up asking you if you want to install LimeWire.
3. Press install package and wait for the installation to finish.
4. Run LimeWire from Applications > Internet > LimeWire

  1. Frostwire is a free and OSS alternative. There's almost no difference at all besides the logo.
