I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  I went to the Synaptic Package Manager and 
searched for "JRE".  There was a listing for the "default JRE" [1.6-32] 
package and one for "openjdk-6-jre" [6b20-1.9.10-0ubuntu1~10.04.4].   I 
have both of these options installed.  I have 1.6.0_20 installed, 
according to LO.

This works for me very well.  So if you want to use the "open" version, 
or an earlier version of the Sun/Oracle JRE, you do not need to worry 
about that "warning message".  You can get the earlier version directly 
from the Oracle site.  I have the 6_22 version listed on my DVD for 
Windows.  So if you want to go back down towards that version for 
Ubuntu, it works well for both.
