The History: Hey guys I want to install JRE7u5 and not OpenJRE7u5 because, while doing a research on the web I discovery that Minecraft runs better on JRE, than with OpenJRE.
The Failure:
But the here (instructions for Linux x64) and here (instructions for Linux x64 RPM) are not helpful, I already tried to download both and I used alien and rpm to try install the RPM package, but everything goes wrong.
The question: Knowing that I would like to request a tutorial teaching me how to install JRE7u5 (Java Runtime Environment 7 update 5) for x64 architecture, and just for inclusion, I'm using Debian 6.
openjdkjava? It's the recommended distribution on Debian systems. If not, then I'd try thejava-packageroute first, before the wiki-how link. With a packaging system as mature as Debian's, always treat generic instructions that involve manually copying and symlink-ing lots of files with a healthy dose of suspicion. With Debian, there's usually a cleaner or, for lack of a better word, more "Debian-way" method. – jw013 Jul 23 '12 at 3:49openjdk, "while doing a research on the web I discovery that Minecraft runs better on JRE, than with OpenJRE", and java-package is obsolete, as page on the link says. – Zignd Jul 23 '12 at 12:09
