Neat-GNU/Linux
Neat-GNU/Linux was going to be like any other GNU/Linux distribution with a couple of differences, the most notable was the installation procedure, but also by keeping the number of packages at a minimum, hence the name; Neat. The installation was not done by copying precompiled packages but by actually compiling packages from source and then install them to the system. By making the list of software as small as possible we hope to create a system that was easy to maintain, that requires little space on the hard drive(s) but at the same time was fully functional. We will also try to include configuration scripts for some administrative tasks, like setting up the network, to make it easier to administrate. Update: As of December 2002, the Neat GNU/Linux distribution was no longer available.

NEW • Development Release: GNOME 4.0 Beta |
 |
The GNOME project has announced the availability of the first beta release of GNOME 4.0, a new major version of the popular open-source desktop environment. Some of the new features include unified look and feel across a wide range of devices, simplified user interface, and much improved front-end with focus on accessibility. Robert Storey has an in-depth review (with screenshots) in First Look at GNOME 4 - the Future of Portability: "One glance at the following screenshot and I think that all will agree that the GNOME developers have really outdone themselves this time. It's obvious that they've given the whole 'desktop' metaphor a complete rethink. Gone are menus, icons, task bars, minimize and maximize buttons, the archaic Start button, wallpapers or even a command prompt. Rather, we are presented with a pleasant default blue screen (note that the color is non-configurable). It is the bold simplicity of this approach that makes GNOME 4 so powerful. Read the rest of this exclusive special report to find out more about the improvements in GNOME 4 and to see some early screenshots of the brand-new desktop.
