+[Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/) is major Linux distribution 
+[wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system))
+
+One should select LTS version, as for example [Help](https://help.ubuntu.com/)
+is full only for LTS versions and Node.js packages are [supported for LTS](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager)
+but not latest versions.
+
+### Installing Java JDK 8
+
+There are many [Java implementations for Ubuntu](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java).
+Let's stick with Oracle JDK:
+
+<http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html>
+
+	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
+	sudo apt-get update
+	sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
+	
+Check what exact version you got:
+
+	java -version
+	javac -version	
+
