The Sun site can be a bit of a challenge sometimes (only slightly less
formidable than Microsoft's).  The Sun/Inprise port is actually located on
the Java Developer Connection website.  Go to
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/j2sdk122/index.html to
get a copy.  The site will require you to log in.  After downloading, just
park it in the directory you want and unzip.  It is pretty simple to set up.

Linux shall be king.
