| | Java Desktop System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Java Desktop System uses mainly free software and version 2 includes: | | | JDS aims to provide a system familiar to the average computer user (meaning it looks similar to Microsoft Windows) with a full suite of office productivity software such as email, calendaring, office suite, web browser and instant messaging. | | | The name reflects Sun's intention to promote this as a venue for corporate users to deploy software written for the Java platform; it is actually built on top of Unix and currently uses a SuSE-based Linux distribution. |

| | ONJava.com: What's So Java About Sun's Linux Desktop? |
| | Sun's Linux desktop software suite is called the "Java Desktop System." While the name seems a bit of a red herring--if not a rape of community property--to Linux enthusiasts, it describes a complete and state-of-the-art GNU/Linux distribution that's designed and targeted for an enterprise market comprised of large companies, government agencies, and educational institutions. | | | I suppose I wouldn't mind Sun tossing the brandname Java onto everything, if it wasn't already a name for a programming language and the common practice is to tack on program language names when the software is /written/ in that language. | | | While Java is important to JDS, there should be no mistaking that JDS is a complete and thoroughgoing Linux distribution. |

| | The Java programming language is an object oriented programming language. | | | Recently though, Sun has been developing Linux-based desktop software called Java Desktop System (originally code-named 'Madhatter') for use both on x86 hardware and on Sun's SunRay thin-client systems. | | | Sun's products include computer servers and workstations based on the SPARC processor, the SunOS and Solaris operating systems, the NFS network file system, the Java platform, and (together with AT&T;) the standardization of Unix System V Release 4. |

| | Java Desktop System: First Impressions on Sun's Linux - OSNews.com |
| | The "proper" name of Sun Linux is "Java Desktop System" (which can be confusing as Sun is branding everything as "%java%" lately, exactly the same way Microsoft did with their ".NET"). | | | The desktop has a "This Computer" icon which gets you to the "root" of Nautilus' window which includes the / and home folders, the Applications, Preferences and the newly introduced "My Documents" folder. | | | What's more, Sun is planning on using this exact same desktop design for the upcoming Solaris version too (which is a move that actually makes sense strategically-speaking). |

| | :: Reviews : Sun's Java Desktop System 2003 reviewed |
| | As a matter of fact, the Sun Java Desktop System (datasheet) is built on top of SUSE LINUX Desktop 1.0. | | | Sun Microsystems is a huge name to have as an ally in the desktop Linux market, and I think that with a little more development effort, their distribution can make it to enterprise desktops across the world, but not without simple Windows integration. | | | The GNOME file manager, Nautilus, acts as the main file manager for the system, and while it is an excellent package, was not setup properly. |

| | John D. Mitchell's Blog: "Java Desktop System"? |
| | Java technology plays a very important role in the Java Desktop System - the Java Virtual Machine is integrated, the Mozilla browser is Java-aware, Java is the preferred development environment, etc. To reinforce this, we have selected the name Sun Java Desktop System. | | | Plain and simple: it is Sun's Linux distribution focused on desktop users. | | | When we explained that we had a disconnect we were told that they didn't know anything about this and that 'everything is moving to the browser now' because you don't want to run to every PC with an installation disk. |

| | The Sun Java Desktop system, which was formerly code-named Mad Hatter, runs on the open-source Linux operating system and includes a variety of programs that replace Microsoft's Internet browser, productivity suite and other parts of the Windows package. | | | Singer said because of Java's openness and integration with the new Sun desktop software, developers will have access to more components of the underlying software than they do with Microsoft's proprietary offerings. | | | Sun officials say its system will cost as little as $50 per user per year and can be installed on any computer that can run Microsoft's Office 2000. |

| | NewsForge Review: Java Desktop System on Linux |
| | Sun Microsystems' just-released Java Desktop System for x86 is a polished Linux desktop that rivals Windows XP and even Mac OS X for fit, finish and ease of use. | | | Yesterday I reviewed the Gnome 2.0-based desktop that Sun is featuring on the Sun Ray thin clients at SunNetwork, and offered the opinion that, properly configured, it would be as usable as Windows 98 or Windows 2000. | | | While it's not yet clear that Linux desktops will seize Microsoft's biggest market, it is clear to me, at least, that Open Source software is ready for use by vast numbers of non-technical productivity workers, especially when given the kind of polish that Sun has applied to the Java Desktop System. |
