Java Desktop System

Today I borrowed the “Java Desktop System”-Live-Demo-CD (Version 2003) from a friend of mine:

-bash-2.05b# uname -a
Linux Morphix 2.4.21-xfs #13 SMP Tue Aug 26 01:46:14 CEST 2003 i686 unknown
-bash-2.05b#

The package-management ist rpm-based and uses Yast2 :o). Other stuff is very gnome-like (gedit, nautilus,…) and the webbrowser is Mozilla.

Due to the system lacks of an utility for creating screenshots:

-bash-2.05b# rpm -i ImageMagick-5.5.7-10.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)   is needed by ImageMagick-5.5.7-10
-bash-2.05b#

… I had to use X-forwarding via ssh for creating a screenshot ;-(. Of course the system isn’t as fast as a Knoppix, but it’s not that bad I expected it to be ;-).

Some screenshots:
StarOffice 7
Nautilus
Yast2
