Centos comes with the 1.4.2-gcj-compat rpm. What impact does this all have?

I do have JRE 1.6.0_05 installed on most of my systems (I see that update 10 is the now current version).

I can't answer your prime question, but I have and do run the jre-6u 5/6/7 issues from the java site successfully. Trying the update 10 from there fails, but I "unnerstan" that's been biased towards WinBlows for the new Explorer browser.

I do have the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 in use as well.
