Hi!

Have you taken a look at Sun's recent Java-based desktop?  Is that
what you're thinking of?
Isn't it just a slightly? modified SuSe with the Java name slapped on?

Java implementations are not secure enough to run arbitrary code. A JVM really
is a complex and large beast. And this makes it hard to make it correct and
secure.

Groetjes,
Peter Busser
