Don't link to those pages please. java.sun.com or now
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html are the
developer-sites. I.e. the pages meant for people programming with
java, not for those just looking for a way to run java based stuff.

And that java 7 is a prerelease version, a version not deemed ready to
be installed by everyone.

Point end-users only to the java.com website (or linux distributors)
