Hi sperki, welcome to Java!
For each OS you will need the according JDK for it, all of which can be found at the Sun site, link below:
You will need some way to write the programs, a text editor, IDE, etc, and a way to run them, command line or IDE. What you choose is programmer preference, though I would suggest an IDE since you're a beginner.
The programs can be used on either OS without technically changing any code, the "Write Once, Run Anywhere" isn't quite true yet![[smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif "[smile] [smile]")
. The commands are the same for all OS.
Let us know if you ahve any more questions,
MarsChelios
