The README.linux already mentions:
Installation
============
Installation of the Linux JDK is trivial. (If you are not on an x86 based Linux
system, skip to the bottom of this section). For the x86 processor
family, there currently only one flavor, that's based on glibc 2.0 (we will
be soon making available a version for glibc 2.1) Note that you must
have glibc 2.0 available on your system in order to run all of the JDK
properly (you may be able to run some things if you have a glibc 2.1 system,
but there are known problems that may prevent you from doing much of
anything). You should try to make sure that your glibc 2.0 version is a
late version of 2.0.7, like "t" or 20 (depending on how your Linux distribution
numbers its package versions).
win).
I'm running (thanks to the tips in this list!) jdk 1.2pre1 with glibc
2.1. I'm using small wrapper scripts to set the required options,
e.g.:
$ cat bin/java
#!/bin/sh
/opt/jdk1.2/bin/java -green -Djava.compiler= $*
$ cat bin/appletviewer
#!/bin/sh
/opt/jdk1.2/bin/appletviewer -green -J-Djava.compiler= $*
I just run a few programs and so far everything works for me.
