Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Also make sure you have all the other proper Java programs and libs installed.
Sometimes more than one java is installed (as a system choice).. so you might want to view the: update-alternatives --config java, command, to see what is going on there.
OpenJdk is usually the best choice for me for my system java.. and I use gcj v. 0.92 in my mozilla broswers java,(ff and seamonkey).
Also make sure you have only one java plugin installed, even if it doesn't show up in your aboutlugins.
I'm not sure about fed, but in debian the 64 bit version of the plugin needs to be manually installed... but I'm not sure.. it's been awhile since I'v had to mess with it... either way, in debian it (libgcjwebplugin.so) gets placed in:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[root@jonas jonas]# update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java
2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java
