Default Question On Java

I am getting ready to stand up a Linux/Debian (Etch) box for a basic Limewie client to share some of my drum videos (of me). I know there is a ton of FAQ's all over here about how to install Java and Limewire but can someone please explain if it's recommended to use Sun Java over Blackdown Java?

With Debian, there is a source that I can just APT-GET from and it installs Blackdown java.

Code:
nucleus:/home/cwilliams# apt-get install j2re1.4
And here is what I get...

Code:
nucleus:/home/cwilliams# java -version
java version "1.4.2-03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-03, mixed mode)
Can someone please tell me if this is good or if I will eventually have problems and recommend I stick with Sun Java?

Thanks for any info!
