Tried it, didn't work. I am installing ubuntu now, it proved me that it's best at its job.

Yes, I already downloaded it. But could you reply to my other thread regarding U.S. private servers?

if I'm not bad... CentOS can use RPM packages, so just download the RPM from Java website and install with double click like in Windows, thats all

I got this issue fix. All I had to do is run "yum install java"

Not really, yum install java will give you the OpenJDK which will not work in some cases (e.g. Tomcat 7).
However, installing Java from Oracle is as easy.
Here is a one page tutorial that will help you get the job done in 1 minute
