LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass
remember_beos writes "Sun created Project Looking Glass (LG3D) as a 'proof of concept' not long ago. It is an environment for Linux, like KDE or Gnome, but with some really great 3D functionality. More than just eye-candy, LG3D provides functional use of an extra spatial dimension on your desktop. Now there is a LiveCD for us all to try it out."
will it?

What speed are you guys getting at the moment? Looks like the "maintenance" has come early.
Rock that crushes, Paper & Scissors that don't matter.
every time sun convinces me to never go back they do something that sounds cool and i have to give it a try.
a plague upon your servers, sun!

Please, someone introduct them to torrent before it's too...er, nevermind...
Awwww, before I was able to put off those projects like building a 5 panel 1600x1200 64bit TFT Immersion Helmet with built in 10.1 sound and my 12,000,000 sensor VR suit complete with fleshlight plugin...
You bet. These video cards can handle marathon 12 hour gaming sessions, but they're gonna break like matchsticks under the burden of running a WINDOWING system.
It's been my personal experience that I'm usually the one failing after a 12 hour gaming marathon, not my desktop.
Nice going, you managed to slashdot the sun, I guess we'll have to implode Saturn now.
I am one of many. My idea is not unique, nor do I expect my voice alone to sway you. I speak in a chorus of opinion.
Doesn't it sound strange to you?
You sure got that right, what the heck did you just say?
2 - Does your screen have a few nasty looking smudges on it or anything? *shiver* Ewww...
Probably not anymore.... double-eww.

You're too late - somebody's already downloaded it
If I seem short sighted, it is because I stand on the shoulders of midgets
No we're down to a ? KB/s and an estimate of 80 days so I'm off for a world cruise. I'll send you guys a postcard:)
The first rule of slashdot is: you do not talk about solutions to the slashdot effect.
Any guesses as to the second rule?
That's not a soda... it's a caffeine delivery device!
You leave my file server out of this! Seriously it's named Saturn, I'm smart enough to put it on an exanet, has no connection to the internet and I lose my internet connection when I switch to that network.
Kidneys man, kidneys.
Not since Marie-Antoinette played milkmaid has looking simple and honest been so fake and complicated.
If you were thinking the same I am, it's Jupiter that needs imploding. And all these base belong to you, except Europa, attempt no landing there :)
I, his apartment, most definately can!
