For me Fedora Core 8

java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode, sharing)


having had jre 1.5.0. and jre 1.7.0 icedtea also 

It took a while to find the "galternatives" applet to set the java version 
correctly.
