I use the self extracting binary... I don't like the idea of installing
RPMs on a DEB environment.
I did have to tweak the "alternatives" settings for that to be properly
integrated into ubuntu, but you can do it simply by modifying what the
/usr/bin/java and other related binaries link to (they point to
/etc/alternatives/XXX which you need to link to what you want).
I've just done this to get Java 1.6 to run... quite nicely... on my
Ubuntu laptop.

Could some kind person please jog my memory. I have a vague recollectionsudo update-alternatives --config java
that, before java 2RE can be used, it is necessary to make a selection
using a terminal. My problem is that I cannot remember what needs to be
entered.
Thanks so far, now, my next question. There are 2 possible downloads
from the Java website one described as self extracting and the other as
RPM. I think I should use the RPM version as this seems to put the
various files where needed in the system whereas the self extracting
seems not to do this. I would be most grateful for your expert opinion
please.
