OK, thanx for the tip. I thought I had to remove the GC Java before  
installing Sun's.
Which I did with "yum remove ...". But as a matter of dependencies, a lot  
of apps got "broken". So I guess
I'm gonna stick with Fedora (that is, redo a fresh install) and get Sun's  
alongside GCJ.
As you guessed, I'm quite new to linux, but learning fast (hopefully :) ).

thanx again
