Hi,

I am running ubuntu hardy 64 bit. In the synaptic , I see packages named sun-java6-bin ... . But as far as I know, Java is not supported in 64 bit linux and it is to be installed by installing firefox 32 first( a how to is in this forum ). Then what does that package in synaptic do ?

Does this mean that if I install java from synaptic i need not install firefox 32 ?
