ssj12, isn't that first video of the Sun OS? I didn't know that was "Linux" per se.

3-D desktops are always pretty cool. It was one of my favorite things about Ubuntu, though I couldn't get my video card running well enough to get it working right.

That second video is pretty crazy, I didn't kow they were able to distort videos in real-time that way yet.

 

isnt linux commonly refered to as an OS not made by Apple or Microsoft. So even though technically it is normally seperated in most OS market share listing it is a form of linux by linux's definition. Also Sun was originally based of an Unix kernal.

 

What? No. The GNU/Linux operating systems all run off of the Linux kernel, which is distinct from the Unix kernel that the SunOS uses (though it is similar).

 

Hmm... but isnt linux based off of unix... meaning linux and unix OSs are basically cousins or something. lol
