SUN Microsystems Sun Microsystems is introducing its Linux distribution, Sun Linux, a part of the Mad Hatter project, to the general public today. Sun Linux is targeting the Enterprise market and at a very low price. OSNews had a sneak peak at Sun Linux last Friday at Sun's offices and here is what we saw there.

3d-support

hopefully, the community won't pursue half a dozen concepts to achieve 3d-enabled deskop, but'll focus on the maybe 2 most promising projects (and ifsun's behind one, that _sounds_ promising, although-written in java?!).
this behaviour-starting redundant projects doing basically the same, but because of lack of manpower, none of them getting really finished, means doing what they ought to do in full, is often quite enerving.
so before there will be large-scale work on 3d-support, i would prefer to see the old stuff finished and integrated properly-otherwise there will never be a usable desktop for linux.
