Which flavour of Linux do you have? Many have package managers where you can select Java form there to have it downloaded and installed automatically.

Or you can try here: Download Java software for Linux from Sun Microsystems (http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp)

Does a name like Ubuntu, Red Had, Fedora, Debian mean anything? What does your opening screen say?

512 MB is the amount of RAM.

From here:

How do I tell what version of Linux is running? - LinuxQuestions.org (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/how-do-i-tell-what-version-of-linux-is-running-176825/)

Try "cat etc/issue" without the quotes from the command line.
