Why not a Java Live CD distribution?

This is a thing that I've in my mind from a long time... the live Linux CD distributions (such as Knoppix) are really interesting, and in conjunction with development environments (such as the last Monoppix) they are really an enormous success.

My question is this: do you know if there are out some Linux Live CD with the Java Development Environment? I think that having the JDK on a Live Linux CD could be really useful...

Maybe I could answer myself: a CD like this could not be distributed due to the Sun's terms of redistribution? Or am I wrong?

I'd like to know something about...

Happy Birthday Internet

Happy Birthday for the 35 years of "The Network"...

Ok, to be more accurate, the birthday date is only a convention but we can accept that today are 35 years from the first real network created.

The official born of "Internet" came 35 years ago (2nd of September 1969) from the first ARPAnet (Advanced Research Project Agency Network) network, that was only an interconnection between 4 nodes, but other people think that the real born of "Internet" was on the year 1983, when the ARPAnet network was revolutioned with the TCP/IP protocol adoption.

However, Internet was (and is) a big phenomenon that has revolutioned our life so... happy Birthday Big Network!
