While waiting for my disks to arrive I have been downloading the files needed to install Java on the QNAP, and I was wondering whether I should install the JRE6 or JRE7 file, or whether it makes absolutely no difference? I notice the JRE7 version link differs very slightly from the name on your website - "...SoftFP ABI..." rather than just "...SoftFP...". I presume that this is fine but after reading the horror stories from people who have installed an incorrect version I have become somewhat paranoid.

I think Oracle have may have changed their procedure for downloading the files. I wasn't asked to complete a survey and wait for a link to be emailed - I simply had to click a radio button accepting the licence agreement and was then able to download the file.

MinimServer runs equally well with Java 6 and Java 7. Given this, you might as well use the latest version, which is Java 7u10. The correct download for Java 7 is "ARMv5 Linux - Headless EABI, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian" (as you thought).

Thanks for letting me know about the Oracle download change. This will make things slightly easier for MinimServer users.
