$ which java

and it might even be there.  otherwise:

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

There is an init script for ubuntu and you can run Hudson from a jar.
It could not get much easier:

In fact, you may find that Hudson requires no hacking at all for
snakebite.  From everything you posted in the feature-want list it
would not require hacking, anyway.  Those items are all supported
afaik.  But of course ymmv.  It seems worth experimenting with.
