He is right, no other package management software may be running - only one "thread" can update the system at any given time.
And, if you're not root, you'll need the "sudo" command prior to the rest of the command, as in "sudo apt-get update". Sudo means "Super User Do", and grants you temporarily super user priviledges while executing a command in the terminal.
[java] How to install java on linux

Also, you'll want to create a symbolic link to the new JDK:
cd /usr/bin
unlink java
ln -s /opt/jdk1.6/bin/java java
Actually I assume it's a bit more polite to use update-alternatives on the links in /etc/alternatives ... :)
