tyme Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 That's right boys and girls, remember Looking Glass? That interesting 3D desktop environment being developed by Sun? Well, there's a livecd with it! It's only a beta, but hey...might as well try it while it's hot ;) Check It The torrent is decent...I'm getting about 40kB/s, with spikes up to 90kB/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I wonder how Longhorn will compare to Looking Glass in this arena. I sense that M$ are sweating bullets. Development keeps getting delayed, because they can't keep up with the open source. Anyway, I haven't tried Looking Glass yet - so I'm gonna give this a go...

I_NEED_HELP Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Why do none of these links seem to work i really want to give this a go and see what its like. Torrent produces bad info and none of the links go anywhere useful. Has anyone got the file they could host. Or know somewhere else to get this.

I_NEED_HELP Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 finally managed to find a copy of the live cd however it does not run it displays half a graphic of a splash screen before freezing. Probably due to my ATI drivers. If only i hadnt given away my old geforce 4 :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
