OS suggestion
Hello,

I'm working on a Linux 2.6.32-33-server (Ubuntu 4.4.3).

I typed in man -k package and got e.g. apt

I typed in apt --help and got:
Code:
The program 'apt' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

I don't understand where this information comes from and why it is wrong.
Can anybody please help to explain it?

It is suspicious that you are running an up to date kernel on a server that has an 8-year old OS running on it.
Did you try to enter the command
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

?
Do you actually own this machine or have privileges to install software on it?
