    I am new to linux and I really need help installing java on Mandriva 2008. Which version of java would I need the RPM? I downloaded the jre-6u3-linux-586-RPM from Sun Microsystems java.com. Is that the right one? I tried following the instructions but cant make any sense of it. Please help. Thanks
