Okay. That clears things up. I know I am coming back to paths but I just want to understand the difference between them . In case of a path we have to explicitly specify the location but in this case it just sym links so that when we type java it searches /etc/alternatives first. Or am i wrong in making this assumption?

So in other words I can type in a single command and it will prompt me for choices. That is the only added advantage over setting a path right. Also lets say I have a different vendor of java also installed How would I update java to point to both the two different vendors?

The first is not possible since it does not allow me not do that. Does the swap partition have any specific data in it or is it simply empty space to use when the ram is overloaded with the swap flag turned on?
