Install Way2SMS desktop client on Ubuntu

I am using the Way2sms desktop client by Shailesh Soliwal for Windows on my Ubuntu system.
The software is a boon for SMS junkies as it allows you to send text messages with going through all the ads in Way2sms website. You will need SMS Client, a Way2sms or sms7.in user-ID, Java runtime library for windows and wine
Being a noob-friendly blog, I think I should explain how to install it.

1] Press Alt+ F2

2] Type 'gnome-terminal'

3] Press enter or click on run

4] type 'su apt-get install wine'

5] The system will ask you, your user password, type it and press enter (you wont see visual feedback while typing)

6] Press y for confirming the installation

7] After installation is done, exit the terminal by typing 'exit' then press enter

8] Go to: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37981 and download the file

9] Install the file by right clicking on it and seleting"open with wine windows program loader"
