Linux At OSNews, I try to bring to attention smaller Linux distributions that try to be different, such as SymphonyOS, or more recently, Elive. Today, I want to introduce you to the LG3D-LiveCD, a distribution using Sun's Looking Glass desktop environment. Version 3 was released yesterday: "The new release features lg3d release 1.0, the possibility to install lg3d-livecd to an USB device and an experimental harddisk installer."

"I have a question. If Java isn't slow, why do Java advocates spend so much of their time carefully explaining why it isn't really slow? "

When Java originally came out, it's graphics libraries were notoriously slow. There were also other issues, but that one affected what people felt the most. Ever since that time Java has been trying to shake that image.
