Installing java from java.com

[ndefontenay]

Hi.

I would like to install JRE-6u25 on ubuntu.

When I go on the website I see only RPM and another download called:

linux self extracting. The file name for this one is: JRE-6u25-linux-i586.bin

It says to restart the browser after install.

I want to install java to play minecraft. I'm having some speed issues using openJDK.

Would the self extracting file work for minecraft standalone? (I tried playing in a browser without success).

Is using the self extracting file the same as using say the RPM?
