Hi im new to linux and i can get limewire to install or even the java thing i dont know how to use bin files in the install help on the website it says open a shell and cd????? im so lost please help me

Might be best to read up on bin files etc. but here is my way of doing it (note I am in no way a linux guru)

you normally have to make a bin file an excecutable first.

so use

chmod +x thenameofthebin.bin

then use ./thenameofthebin.bin to run the file (you may have to su)

look where you downloaded LimeWire, further down in small writing it gives a link to download Java (its a big download btw)

Then look at the thread on here labeld No Java VM for help with installing Java properly.

Hope that helps.

Actually, you don't even need to chmod the bin file. you can just run it as a shell 'sh file.bin' and it will run that way as well.
