asuncion's Journal: lg3d-livecd 3.0

Some two weeks after the release of "Project Looking Glass 3D" version 1.0, the first stable release, of Sun Microsystem's open-source desktop environment, a new version of LG3D-LiveCD has been released(https://lg3d-livecd.dev.java.net/, https://lg3d.dev.java.net/). First time presented in 2004 LG3D's style of presenting 2D windows in 3D space has only recently closely been resembled by Windows Vista's Aero surface, however LG3D goes one step further and provides a toolkit for the rapid development of "real" 3D apps. The new release provides some new features and improved stability. For the first time the LiveCD gives the user an easy possibility of installation (you end up with a rather minimalistic slackware system). The LiveCD is no risk and provides a great possibility to showcase your friends the possibilities of a "modern" Linux desktop (even if performance might be somewhat sluggish on older systems).
