Hi I am using JOSM on a Bodhi Unix which is a "light" version of ubuntu. The process I used was to install it using the package manager which put up a very old version of JOSM but it worked. Then download version 6319 and moved it over the top of the old version and this appears to have worked extremely well. Yes, I get the warning that the version of Java I am using will soon not be supported (version) but no issues. It was rather a rough process so I did not keep notes on the exact process but by using the package installer it set up the menu items in the operating system interface under Education applications. The copy straight over the top struck me as rather rough but t worked. Cheers Brett
