OEone's HomeBase Desktop for Red Hat |
| OEone has announced the release of HomeBase Desktop as a free download for users of Red Hat Linux. What is HomeBase Desktop? "A fully-integrated Operating Environment that offers all of the facilities traditional OSs offer. The difference? A UI that is user-centric rather than window-centric." More on OEone's product page. It runs on top of Red Hat 7.1 or 7.2 only so if you use one of these versions and would like to give HomeBase a try, head for the download page (your email is required). The release spurred some activity in Linux media. Newsforge - OEone's Linux desktop experiment enters a new phase: "OEone is a fully functional Linux desktop right now, but it is so different from other PC desktops that it hardly competes with any of the existing ones." OfB - OEone's Peter Bojanic on HomeBase, Mozilla, an interview with OEone's Vice President: "OEone started active development using Mozilla milestone releases in February, 2001." Also from OfB - It's Good to be Home(Base) Again, a mini review: "If you are looking for an excellent desktop solution for basic office and multimedia functionality, this Linux distribution very well could be the perfect one for you."

| About OEone HomeBase |
| HomeBase is not a Linux distribution in the traditional sense but, rather, a custom environment tailored for a user's needs. It combines the best of both worlds: an easy-to-use, intuitive operating environment for those who want to keep it simple; a quick, one-click access to a more sophisticated environment for experienced Linux users. While HomeBase DESKTOP comes with a full package of applications, it's simple to pull apps that you're already working with into the HomeBase environment. |
