The Genode project has published its second ready-to-boot Live CD featuring a bunch of graphical demonstrations such as Qt4 applications and Linux running on top of Genode. Immediatly after the latest release of the Genode OS framework the new Live CD demonstrates some of the framework's features. The Qt4 demo utilizes the freshly integrated dynamic linker in order to reduce the size of applications. Another scenario demonstrates Genode's ability to launch Linux. Beside these new features, the portability properties of Genode are demonstrated by an application scenario that can be executed on top of different microkernels, namely OKL4, Pistachio, and Fiasco.

I told one colleauge of mine, who was on-site at a customer who had a problem with one of the devices we manufacter, several timezones away from me, btw. via the phone to install the latest version of Qt (spoken "Q" "T", I meant the Qt SDK which already includes a properly setup MinGw compiler and what not else) in order to compile a small test program I had cobbled together (it was a one-off quick&dirty testing program, and I had used Qt because we were in a hurry and that's what I'm most familiar with).
As it turned out, my colleauge did not know what "cute" was (he has a good excuse, he is our hardware guy), but since I spelled it for him, he thought I meant the popular multimedia suite from Apple. It took several minutes to figure out why - even though he had "installed the latest version of this Q-T thingie" was unable to start QtCreator, left alone compile the program by hand on the command line.
It was quite embarrasing, because the whole dialog was overheard by our customer ...
