Yes it's confusing, but you can go here and get it:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Just choose: "Download JRE for Other Platforms" and you'll get there in a
coupl'a klicks. This is the generic self-extracting installer.
The apt-get thingy will get you 1.4 (I think 32 bit) I think you can find that
at blackdown, but it'll run with 32 bit I think only. you'll have to edit
your /etc/apt/sources.list to tell apt where to git it, as well.
Once you extract jre1.5, you'll have to configure konqueror java in settings
to connect to the java binary thusly:
/home/user/jre1.5.0/bin/java
then java 64 bit will run in konq. Not sure about moz or firef. though.
Cheers,

Hello. I'm a little confused as to getting Java on my AMD64 system.
Can I apt-get install it? I went to java.com and they seem to have an
AMD64 self extracting binary. I would rather use apt-get though so
that I can keep it up to date. Thank you for the help.
