Efika 5200B Project
Use of EFIKA PowerPC Boards and SUN Fire T1000 Server in a Cooperative Project for Higher Education in Vaasa-Finlandin category Other
proposed by PurpleAlien on 2nd December 2006 (accepted on 2nd December 2006)
Below is a short demo (flash) of what the user interface looks like, and what kind of experience the user can expect.
In the video you can see a file manager, Abiword and Gnumeric (running on the MPC5200B) and Firefox and OpenOffice (running on the server, with their display re-targeted to the Open client - transparent to the user).
The desktop itself is ROX, a very fast and lightweight environment.
Take into account that this is captured over a VNC connection, in reality it behaves faster and more responsive.

Added another one, which shows streaming music, and puts some more stress on the EFIKA by running multiple applications:
