Here's a script to automate the nxt software installation under linux.
The feedback I got after publishing nextcoinbox was that people were reluctant to use it, being afrad that it might contain malware.
I've now added a script you can run in any linux environment with java 7 available, including (and even preferably) live CDs.
Check it at http://nextcoinbox.github.io/nextcoinbox/ and let me know what you think!
PS: My next project was a web redirection service based on aliases, but just read ferment beat me to it. Oh well, I'll find something else then :-)
well done ferment!
