1. Download the latest LimeWire from http://www9.limewire.com/beta/LimeWireLinux.rpm

2. Make sure you have "alien" installed:
sudo apt-get install alien

3. Create a debian package from the rpm:
sudo alien LimewireLinux.rpm

4. Install the debian package:
sudo dpkg -i limewire-free_{version-number}_i386.deb

There should be an entry in the programs menu if you are using KDE or Gnome. You will also be able to start limewire by typing "limewire" in the terminal.

Enjoy!
