I doubt there's a good reason to manually download Java; it is in the repository of most distros, and it is much easier to install that way. Anyway, if you wanted to download it manually, you'd have to download the installer off the Java website, open a terminal, assume root privileges (I assume you know how to do that), do
chmod +x jre-6u15-linux-i586.bin
and then do
./jre-6u15-linux-i586.bin
Then just follow the prompts on the screen to install it.
