Rate this project
|
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.

OEone: A New Experience for Linux Desktop Computing |
|
Although OEone HomeBase Desktop is not a Linux distribution in the traditional sense of the word, but rather a desktop environment running on top of Red Hat or Mandrake, nevertheless, the creators have been providing a complete distribution in the form of OEone HomeBase Suite. LinuxOrbit has put the freely downloadable HomeBase Desktop through its paces in this review: "HomeBase DESKTOP a truly unique desktop experience. It will be interesting to keep up with the HomeBase DESKTOP product as it continues to mature. Whether or not the market wants to use PCs differently remains to be seen, but OEone will be at the forefront of the effort in the future." The product gets 3.5 stars out of 5.
