Update to the latest Sun Java version
It is important that you always use the latest Java version. An old Java version or having more than one installed can cause severe problems, like 100% CPU usage etc.!
The latest official and supported version is Java 5.0 Update 15.

Linux
debian stable - sun-java5-jre [non-free]
Hope your linux distribution has the "jre" or "jre-sun" or "java-sun" or similar package in its repositories, and install java in the manner supported by your distribution.
If you run the command java in a terminal, and get lots of usage directions instead of just "command not found" then you have java installed.
To check what version of java you have, run the command java -version in a terminal, the reported version should be at least 1.5.0
Mac OS X
You normally have a working version, even though the implementation from apple does things differently at times.
