Try Ubuntu On Web Browser (Online) via Edubuntu Weblive

  That's great, they're making it even more convenient for people to give the system a try. The majority of people still don't realize that Linux can power a very capable and easy to use system for the desktop. I recall that someone else was doing this years back - who was it? I think the company that developed Nautilus originally, Eazel.

  Trying it out now. This is a great concept for trying out a new OS. Props to Stéphane Graber for providing the hosting! [UPDATE] - Couldn't get it to load. It started connecting and then timed out. Maybe I'm just unlucky number 11!

  I went to high school where there was an Edubuntu lab. Each PC had a local OS, but it also booted off of a server in the corner via LTSP, giving everyone a portable Gnome environment. With this, a class could have access to that environment on any machine without having to boot to NIC. This has potential.

  This looks cool, but: > You can now try Edubuntu online without needing to download or install anything. All you need is a computer with Java So, I need do need to download something.

  How would someone set up their own computer to do something like this? NX seems to be a lot more responsive than VNC & it's ilk...
