This short guide allows you to install SAP GUI Java on linux sistem (I tested on Squeeze/Testing):

1. Java Runtime Environment installed on your system.
   On Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu Koala I suggest you to use Sun Java JRE

   check your version using

   $ java -version
   java version "1.6.0_16"
   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)
   Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode)

2. Download SAPGUI
   ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/java/ (anonymous login)
   https://service.sap.com/sapgui-java (OSS user and pass)

   currently rev10 is available PlatinGUI-Linux-710R10.jar

3. In the downloaded folder, execute

   $ java -jar PlatinGUI-Linux-710R10.jar
