Britney Spears theme for NewInstaller
Andreas Falkenhahn wrote:
The first theme for NewInstaller v1.4 has just been released on the Airsoft Softwair
homepage. It is a Britney Spears theme (due to the big success of the Britney Spears
Rainboot theme...). I suggest everyone who wants to have a look at the new features
of NewInstaller v1.4 to download and install the theme. It's worth it!

Sun announces Java 2 for Linux
"Sun has just announced they will offer an own Linux version of the Java 2 Platform,
Standard Edition (J2SE). So far, official statements said that Sun supports the Blackdown
Porting Team in its efforts in a port to the free operating system. The driving force
behind this change of mind is probably the company Inprise, which plans to add the J2SE
to their JBuilder announced for the beginning of the next year, and added manpower to
the port. Starting immediately, a preview version (Release Candidate 1) can be
downloaded from Suns developer site (free registration required)."
