On a stock RHEL5.x you can say 'yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk' and you get a copy that appears to be built from what you find here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/ and pretty much the same in CentOS - if you don't have epel enabled. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
