You dont need to download the one from the sun website. Its a lot simpler than that.
First go to synaptic package manager
system>administration>synaptic
Then search for "sun java" then just scroll down till you find the one your looking for.

If you want to run that file, open a terminal and type (let's say that the file is on the Desktop):
chmod a+x ~/Desktop/jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin

Then:
cd Desktop
./jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin

Can you help with this problem?
