Apache JMeter [1] is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
Knoppix has a new default deskop environment, LXDE. I’ve never heard of it so you might haven’t either:
“Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment”, is an extremely faster, performing and energy saving desktop environment.
For me it looks like a Windows XP lookalike and looks quite complete too me. I quick tested the live-cd in VirtualBox, but had some troubles with it.
Seems also interesting for Mini-Notebooks (alias Netbooks).
