The original Sun Java 2 is available in the ‘non-free’ section of the Debian repositories. To enable this section first add the non-free repository to the apt sources file - the /etc/apt/sources.list should look like, - important parts are in bold:
deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free
deb http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main
Update the list of sources
# apt-get update
Install java

How to install MYSQL on Debian Lenny
Luckily MYSQL 5.0 is available in the default source list of APT.
# apt-cache search mysql
# apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
Open a mysql prompt
Grant access to root from any host, this is insecure for production machine but in case of continuous build machine, development this is sometimes very useful.
Let root connect not only from localhost by running
# mysql –u root –p
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set host = '%' where user = 'root' and host='127.0.0.1'
mysql> flush privileges;
Bad written code (DAO) will sometimes forces you to start MYSQL using insensitive casing table. In windows it will always work as the operating system do not make any difference between lower and upper case. In Linux, either you change your DAO’s or if you can’t, use this kind of trick:
Case insensitive table in MYSQL
# vi /etc/mysql/conf.d/lower_case_table_names.cnf
Put inside file
[mysqld]
lower_case_table_names = 1
Restart mysql
# /etc/init.d/mysql restart
