Linux comes in many varieties called distributions. Your using the Ubuntu distro.

 

Luckily, like most (if not all) distros, Ubuntu comes with a package manager, used to, manage packages. Yours is called apt.

 

You can issue the following command (in a terminal) to install the java jdk.

 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

 

Simple.

 

You might also want to take a look at Synaptic which is your GUI front-end to apt. Should be in your menu somewhere, or you could simply start it by typing....

 

synaptic

 

in a terminal.

 

Good luck.
