Where can i download Java?
There are several vendors that provide Java implementations for various platforms. Sun Microsystems’ implementation is highly recommended for Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems. These are available for free download at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. As well as choosing the correct download for your operating system, you should also ensure you have the correct download for your CPU. Windows, Linux and Solaris versions are available for 32-bit x86 and AMD64 hardware. There are also Solaris versions for 32-bit and 64-bit SPARC hardware. Apple provides a Java SE 6 implementation for the Mac OS X operating system at http://www.apple.com/java that is fully compatible with NetLab. Java SE 6 implementations are also available for FreeBSD on various hardware platforms at http://www.freebsd.org/java. However these are still in development and running NetLab in a FreeBSD environment is not recommended. Note: You may see these downloads referred to as version 1.6 instead
