Sun's Java with Linux.
Just like Java has to be in Windows
Linux does not need Java to be stable and good. How much work has Sun put in to GNOME. Is it really any different than GNOME in any other distribution?
You can set up PC's to boot from a NFS, if you really want - but a new hard drive can be had for around $50. With the money you save not paying lots of money to a proprietary OS setup you can hire some good sysadmins. If this Java Desktop works, and there is no need for configuration, etc... then it will be a good thing.
Let's see how it does in the real world - let's see how everything ties together in the corporate environment. Maybe it will work...maybe it won't. There is no way to tell, but to wait and see.
I don't believe this for a minute. Sorry, guys. Is GNOME that Sun has really that much better, technically, than the GNOME that comes with FreeBSD, or Debian, or SuSE, or Red Hat? Or is this just a new skin?
This is probably not going to go over very well. Sun appears to be joining the ranks of the SCO crowd.
