Ask most people on the street what Java is and they might tell you it's an Indonesian island. If you happen to bump into some programmers, they'll probably tell you it's a language that reads like C++ but has garbage collection and a virtual machine to make it portable. The connection is reputedly the syllogism where the island gives name to its coffee, people drink coffee while surfing the Web, and Java is the computer language of the Web.

Interesting news Calum. http://www.sun.com/software/javadesktopsystem/index.xml. does indeed state that release 3.0 is only available on Solaris 10. Does this mean Sun is withdrawing support for Linux as a client ? How does this affect the much publicized news that WalMart were going to sell JavaDesktopSystem PCs ? A quick look on walmart's web site http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3356857 shows the JavaDesktopSystem PC is out of stock. Not sure if this is cause it is so popular or that wasn't a big seller.

Worth pointing out the Java Desktop System isn't just for Linux... in fact, the most recent (and, likely, future) versions are only available for Solaris.
