Installing Eclipse - under Linux

Some time ago I wrote about installing Eclipse (under Windows), bemoaning the fact that the Eclipse.org site strangely seems to not have any articles for Eclipse novices, at least none that I could find at the time:

• Installation Blues, Part 2 - Readying Eclipse for use
• Installation Blues, Part 2 revisited - Eclipse setup screencam (my own amateurish attempt to demonstrate the installation procedure)

Perhaps the Eclipse site is a little too too elitest, or too taken up with new releases and advanced topics? Or maybe the really basic material is there, somewhere in a dark corner of the site, or maybe it has been added recently and I haven't noticed it? What I have been trying to locate is a starter page that's absolutely easy to find, and that starts something like: "Never used Eclipse before? Then just follow these simple steps to install and start using Eclipse." (If I'm wrong about this, please let me know and I'll gladly post the relevant URLs here.)

In the meantime, I've just come across a good tutorial at the Novell-hosted Linux University for Developers, a nice introduction to installing and starting to use Eclipse, called Getting Started with the Eclipse IDE

And there's another tutorial called Eclipse Key Features which should be also be good for Eclipse novices.
