Are you guys going to be able to get Flash 6 working on there? I think that's just as much of a biggie as Java for the web-and-design-people out there. And it certainly is eye candy. I'm curious as to what a test of glxgears would yeild ;) Java apps to show off... the best thing I can think of at the moment would be Eclipse. It's not that fun to see, but it'd definitely be neat to show off. I'll check out what there is in terms of Java apps. --Devon Murray Stokely wrote: >On Tue, Sep 02, 2003 at 11:59:16AM +0200, Michal Pasternak wrote: > > >>I'd suggest the demonstration of Linux emulation - for example, by showing a >>working Oracle installation or launching some Linux-only games. >> >> > >We may launch StarOffice 6 this time.
