I found this page: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IBMJava and decided
to give IBM's Java JRE a try. I've heard its slightly better than Sun's.
I installed it following the directions on the wiki, except I put it
into ~/.opt, instead of /opt. I'm the only user on this machine, so I
don't mind putting it into my ~.
I've added ~/.opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin into my PATH (since that's where
the java executable is). However, with that path in my PATH, running
`java` results in a Segmentation fault.

link at blue:~ $ java
Segmentation fault

Running the full path works though

link at blue:~ $ ~/.opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/java

Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
...

Running `which java` returns nothing. I don't get it. Has anyone managed
to get this to work?
