I guess my point was not that I needed to know this, but that this should be in the "Quickstart" stuff, because without it, it is not a "Quickstart".

I did find that there is a way to find this on ubuntu. You need to run the following: sudo update-alternatives --config java This will show all the different installs that are a potential target, and the user would choose from that list as to which install they would use... I picked, and it works... Now I have other questions regarding other configurations issues, like IMAP and doing User Authentication from MySQL rather than the normal user repository...
