Sun and Blackdown work very closely together: Blackdown does the "raw" Linux port of Java from Sun's common source base, which Sun then packages, tests and distributes. If you want to tinker with the runtime, fix bugs or have a strong licensing religion then use Blackdown's version; if you want something stable and in wide use, use Sun's. BTW, the SDK download includes the JRE, so only one download is necessary.
