[CLUE-Talk] Fwd: Gnome 1.4 released (anybody try this release yet?)

[Jim Intriglia]

..in particular, has anyone tried Nautilus yet, as bundled with the Gnome 
1.4 release?

I understand that Nautilus is going to replace Midnight Commander (current 
file manager for Gnome desktop).

JimI.

>By Phil Hochmuth
>
>The latest version of the Gnome desktop software for Linux, Unix and
>FreeBSD was released last week, with several new file-management and
>user interface enhancements.
>
>Gnome 1.4 was developed by the Gnome Foundation, which includes 500
>volunteer programmers. This version includes two new programs for
>managing files and customizing the look and feel of a Linux-based
>desktop.
>
>Nautilus, which was developed by the Linux desktop development firm
>Eazel, is a file-management program that lets users store and access
>files easily over a network. The software also allows users to click
>on words in any text document to perform an Internet search on the
>specific word. Sawfish is a Windows manager that has been integrated
>into Gnome 1.4 that lets users change characteristics of their
>operating system graphical user interface, such as colors and the
>appearance and location of buttons and scrollbars.
>
>A new, file search and index tool, called Medusa, has also been added
>to the new Gnome. Medusa allows users to perform fast file searches
>on a hard drive and to save search criteria for commonly used
>searches.
>
>Also in the latest Gnome version is added support for applications
>written originally for the K Desktop Environment (KDE), another Linux
>desktop, and the X-Windows desktop system for Unix.
>
>Besides user interface tools and enhancements, Gnome 1.4 also comes
>with an array of tools for developers, including a configuration file
>manager and expanded program language tools (such as C++, Perl,
>JavaScript and Pascal).
>
>Over the past few years, Gnome and KDE have emerged as the top two,
>Linux-based desktop packages. Major PC vendors such as IBM and Compaq
>have shipped both desktops with their preconfigured Linux computers.
>Recently, Gnome has gained a bit more momentum than KDE, as more open
>source groups and commercial software companies have started backing
>the project. Last fall, the Gnome Foundation announced along with
>Sun, IBM and Hewlett-Packard that Gnome would be the new default
>desktop environment for all Unix systems sold by Sun, IBM and HP.
