Slashdot Mirror

I do remember a kind of linux release, some years back.

How about SGI's 4DWM or CDE?

MaXX Interactive Desktop.
MID is heavily based upon SGI's Indigo Magic Desktop and IRIX Interactive Desktop environments. I believe the developer may have an agreement with SGI also.

Anyway, since it's probably not GPL you can mod this post down like I know you want to.

The best of both worlds?

I recall Desk Overview long ago in IRIX. There was even an IP dispute over some aspects of this widget with another company (who's name I have forgotten). See here for a note a decade old about how cool this thing was. It had (has) several features that the linux pager lacks. Hopefully, IMD4Linux will give them back to me!

Yeah. I've always found that the Window Maker way - getting the program menu by right-clicking desktop wherever you like - is the best. In fact, I installed LiteStep on Win98 just for that. (I don't care if alternative shells in Windows are only 99.9% convenient - I want my start menu placed where God intended...)

Another thing which I found pretty neat was the Indigo Magic Desktop's "Icon Catalog" application - small groups of icons arranged in a small window, with a tab row on the bottom for categories. Hopefully 5dwm will get along to reimplement it eventually =)

Fuck this... why hasn't there been an article about the 5DWM yet?

Fucking Slashdot

WHO CARES!?

Why isn't there an article about the 5Dwm up yet?

No more trolling

You lying sack of shit! You said the Indigo Magic Desktop would be released last week. WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?

Where's the beef?
If you're not going to work on the project any more at least release what you have (if anything), asshole.

OK, a couple of months ago I was bitching about the Indigo Magic Desktop not being released.
I gave up, and decided to wait...
WE'VE WAITED TOO LONG! RELEASE THE 5DWM ASSHOLE!

"Final ajustments to the installation scripts are required...
The webserver is unstable... Please be a tiny bit more patient ;-)"

You are so full of shit.
Just admit it; The 5DWM doesn't exist.
STOP HOLDING BACK!

I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THE 5DWM!
RELEASE THE BETA, OR ADMIT YOU NEVER HAD IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
YOU == LYING SACK OF SHIT!

Lameness filer is a bitch, Lameness filer is a bitch, Lameness filer is a bitch, Lameness filer is a bitch,

WHY WON'T YOU RELEASE THE 5DWM!?
FUCKING PANSY, RELEASE THE BETA *NOW*!

Lameness Filter can suck my shweaty nuts.

RELEASE THE 5DWM GODDAMNIT!
WE'RE SICK OF WAITING MONTHS FOR SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE!

RELEASE TEH 5DWM ALREADY!
Oh wait... I bet it doesn't even exist!

Oh I forgot... 5DWM website is back up! Yaay :)

The Author of 5DWM (Erik Masson) has not been working on the project for a while. Since the last version was working quite well. Erik says that he is willing to bring it back online if there is enough interest. Check Tomorrow at http://www.5dwm.org for More Information. As we will reopen the Website to be /.

right here

Speaking of irix... Check this out. Very pretty irix-like desktop for linux on intel.

BTW Irix does most of it's pretty stuff in prom, which unfortunately makes it almost completely un-customizable. Gets old fast if you reboot a lot (as in, a dozen times a night to test I2 scsi adapters).
