Re: [PLUG] Ubuntu questions

Sun's java for x64 can be had on www.java.com. I have it running fine on my 64 bit fedora box. Just make sure your path in .bashrc points to Sun's java. Example:
export PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin:$PATH
This should cause your system to find Sun's java.

I've "rebuilt" my linux workstation - this time with an Asus
A8V-VM and an Athlon 64 X2. I put Ubuntu for x86_64 on it.
Gnome gets some "getting used to" since I've been using KDE
almost exclusively.
There are two things that trouble me:
1. I'm using Thunderbird. When I install Enigmail (or try to)
it tells me that it's not for the x86_64 architecture. That's
strange since in installed it in my SuSE x86_64 system. Perhaps
there's something that I need to install in Ubuntu to make it
run non-x86_64 binaries?
2. I need java. When I type "java -version" it tells me that
it's running java "1.4.2" - but not sun's java. What is it that
I'm getting? An open-source implementation of Java? If so then
I need to un-install that and get the latest java from Sun or IBM.
Is there an "apt-get" way of un-installing the java I have and
getting the "real thing" or do I just use the SUN/IBM installer?
