Mint Linux 3.0 Light
,----[ Quote ]
| The Light edition of the Mint 3.0 Linux distribution is now available.
| Compared to the regular version of Mint, the Light edition ships without
| proprietary software, patented technologies, and support for restricted
| formats. We took a peek this afternoon at this GNOME-based LiveCD
| distribution.

| All this is unfortunate, because DesktopOnDemand offers a lot. It is,
| simply put, Linux, in your web browser. Given the complexity of Linux as
| opposed to many other apps described here, I won’t go into details - just
| imagine one of those Live CD Linux distros inside a web browser window.
| Needless to say, the choice of applications is fantastic, and you can
| definitely use DOD to do real work, store data (you get 1 GB of storage),
| browse (anonymously) the Internet etc. The speed is not stellar but it’s
| bearable, and the stability and functionality is, well, pretty much the
| same of any light or Live CD Linux distro.

There's a great degree of Linux there, either at application/artwork level
or at the server level.

eyeOS - the open source web desktop [Review]

| There is definitely potential here, and I think extending free and
| open source software into the web desktop space can only be a good
| thing. At the moment, I don?t think I'd seriously end up using it.
| I don't think it is necessarily eyeOS's fault, as the project is
| extremely innovative and well done for what it is.

Desktop On Demand - New WebOS Launches
,----[ Quote ]
| The product is being built by a company called Defuturo, which says
| that the core of DOD is the Linux Gnome desktop environment "and the
| growing myriad of applications constantly being developed for it." So
| it is using an open source platform and building a virtual desktop
| service on top of that. DOD aims to extend rather than replace a
| local computer, but I think they need to work on their messaging
| on how exactly they'll do this.
