This article discusses the work done to set up a Linux-based Java laboratory for undergraduate students at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore Pakistan. We are thankful to Professor Shahid H. Bokhari for his guidance and permission to experiment. We also express our appreciation to the undergraduate volunteers, especially Bilal and Sarfaraz, who helped us in the installation process at the expense of their summer vacations.
