They've taken a modern Linux system (2.4 kernel, KDE 2.2, etc) and made a new distribution with the intent of making it as easy to use as possible, and integrate very well in a Microsoft OS environment. I.e. It Automatically discovers a Windows PDC and gets itself running with shares, etc. They've customized it with their own software and configurations to make it familiar to a Windows user. I.e. It has a "My Computer", "Network Neighbourhood" and a:"Control Panel", etc. It comes with WINE. They've selected applications to make a good desktop. I.e. "Here's a good set of applications for Desktop, Network and Development, trust us." They've included things like StarOffice, AbiWord, GIMP, XMMS, etc. They're a group from India. It looks like they will be giving it away for free and selling consultation services or some such model. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
