Sun Steps Back from Linux JDS

Posted by timothy on from the crowded-house dept.

chill writes "ZD Net UK is reporting that Sun is pulling back from their JDS desktop Linux initiative. The big question is what happened to those half-million to million-plus units that were supposed to ship in China in 2004? One hint may be that in April, Novell announced a deal with CSSC to 'cooperate to provide technology, services and marketing to optimise and promote Linux to the Chinese market.' Sun's JDS was based on SUSE Linux, now owned by Novell."

    I'm having the same problem in IE, it's been happening since at least yesterday. Copy the url for the images and paste it into the browser and you see that images.slashdot.org is sending out "400:bad request" responses.

    Dunno what's going on, I thought it was my computer/network until I found your comment. Now I think it's probably something on their end.
