More radical idea 510000000009211

                    Posted by William Beebe, 11 Jun


I have been working on a Java desktop using JDK 1.3.
My goal is to create a distribution with either the Linux or FreeBSD
kernel,along with support libraries, a stripped down X, and
JDK 1.3. Everything else, from shells to file explorers to editors to what
have you, is written in 100% Java. When it boots and
installs itself, it's all Java. After installation it's all Java. There is
enough in the APIs to build a very complete platform. So far
I have a minimal desktop and a simple way to add apps to it. Now comes the next step, stripping Linux down to the bare
essentials and building a boot CDROM as a test.

                    You gotta start somewhere...
