See below: 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...
