The Guardian has an article up about the Sun Java Desktop and they mention the Morphix tie-in:

" If you want to look at Sun's offering, start with a CD-based trial version, using the Morphix 
bootable CD-Rom Linux distribution. This makes it easy to run a basic evaluation. Just drop the CD 
into a PC, reboot and you're ready to try things out. It'll even run inside a VMware virtual 
machine."
