It will be skinnable in newer versions

I really hope that by "skinnable" you mean that it will use the widget set that your window manager & desktop environment provides, or at the very least provide that as an option.

That last thing in the world we need are 500 "desktop-ready" applications, each with their own skin format. I already use four different applications that have separate theme formats: XMMS, Nautilus, Mozilla and gkrellm. Combined with GTK and Sawmill, that's 6 different theme formats I have to keep track of. (Well, that's kind of a lie; I have Mozilla installed so I can use Galeon...)

I don't need a themeable package manager, ICQ client, mailreader, image editor, web server, and SETI@Home client. Desktop environments provide those widget sets for a reason...

Todd Volz, the guy who wrote the zdnet article, must be a real idiot. He talks too much about ease of use. Apparently, he either doesnt know how to code HTML, or he is just a plain idiot. I'm referring to the fact that such an enlightened individual has linked to a zdnet search page instead of nautilus. Dont believe me? Read the article and try to click on the link to nautilus.

The real problem here is that people still have absoloutely no clue what they are doing. They must be used to using windows, because they dont know how to read documentation. I know, they must all be illiterate. Windows users must need those fuzzy little icons because they cant read.

I cant wait until one of these morons tries cleaning excess programs with 'rm'. Has anyone heard of packages? I guess not, because they cant read the man page for dpkg, rpm, or the BSD pkg tools.

The world of personal computers will probably become just like the world of cars. People take their computers in to the shop when something goes wrong. Just imagine...

Mechanic: So what seems to be the problem.
Luser: Well, i just bought it, but its using too much disk space. Can you remove some of these 'programs', or whatever you call them?
So Mr. Mechanic spends about ten minutes freeing up some disk space, smokes a couple of cigarettes, and charges you for three hours of work.

The lesson being taught here, is that if you dont want to rely on someone else, then read some damn man pages. If you want to waste your time and money having someone else fix your machine, then bitch for a better GUI and complain about how 'bloated' your flavor of unix is (because you dont know the means to thin it out). Point and click your way to happiness.

PS. Win2K takes about 850MB for a default install. Think about that, then bitch and moan about how big your unix distro is. Hm... I remember stripping down a bare bones FreeBSD install to about 30MB. And you know how? I can read.

Well, Nautilus has had a Mozilla component for quite a while, so at the moment this looks as if its a me too effort. See http://www.eazel.com/images/corp/screens/dec-07-20 00/Web_View.jpg

What I'm interested in is the KPart/Bonobo bridge, and it looks as if that doesn't exist yet.

The world is divided in two categories:
those with a loaded gun and those who dig. You dig.

The big, Big, BIG former Apple/Macintosh employees behind Nautilus appear to be Andy Hertzfield and Guy "Bud" Tribble. They lend instant GUI credibility to Nautilus. Perhaps Sun noticed this.

More likely, it's an insider thing. It says in Tribble's bio that he has "held several VP-level positions at Sun during the past seven years" and was "VP and chief technology officer for the Sun-Netscape Alliance".

More here.

Here are their latest (Dec 7) screenshots: http://www.eazel.com/screenshots/dec-07-2000
------------

Frankly, I'm glad Andy and a bunch of former Apple and Be engineers are bringing their expertise to Linux and GNOME. It says a lot about the direction we're headed.

I just checked out the December screenshots of Eazel, and continue to be amazed at how slick it looks. This is good software written by people who understand how to cater to the end user. No one can accuse Nautilus of having a "built by programmers" look.

Truly intuitive user interface, combined with intergration with StarOffice and Mozilla ... it looks like we're going to see Linux sail past Windows in terms of plain old usability very soon.
--

Yes, it just became possible recently. If you use the Helix Installer, point the mirror to the "Evolution Preview" and grab the latest packages. The most recent packages of Evolution 0.8 fix problems with Bonobo and gtkhtml as well. Then you can grab the latest builds of Nautilus and it should work. Nautilus and Evolution both now use Bonobo 0.30. It's a beautiful thing. Hope it works for you. Questions? Email me and I can probably help.

The Media is thoroughly confused, but this isn't news to anyone. I'm tired, too, of hearing about the "Eazel" desktop environment. Don't get me wrong. I love what Eazel, and other companies are doing for open source projects such as Gnome. I just dislike the Media's gross misunderstanding of the relationship between the Community and the Corporation. One wonders of the Media will ever really grasp the beast known as the Open Source/Free Software Community and how it integrates with the business models of companies such as Red Hat, Eazel, and Helix Code. "They" don't seem to fully grasp the idea that the Community (project, source, forums) is an entity separate from the Corporation, yet a part of it with a powerful relationship. The Corporation may enhance the Community, providing resources that the Community might not be able to provide on it's own, yet if the Corporation were to die, the Community would live on. And the Corporation very much feeds on the Community.
----

What Eazel is doing is Gnome. A next-generation file manager has been planned for the Gnome Project for a long time. Eazel came along and decided to implement it. Nautilus is the file manager for Gnome 1.4. The Eazel developers are entirely a part of the Gnome community. Just hang out on #gnome or #nautilus on gimpnet for a while to see what I mean.
----

KTB:Lover, Poet, Artiste, Aesthete, Programmer.

Sun is waiting until Nautilus reaches 1.0. Sun isn't shipping Gnome with Solaris until version 2.0. Gnome 1.4 hasn't even been released and won't be until Nautilus has matured enough. Nautilus isn't vapor. They still have issues to iron out and bugs to fix, but it's there and you can test it out.
----

Note, of course, that Moglen is referring to the entire category of WIMP GUIs, not just MacOS. In fact, he reserves his harshest criticism for Slashdot's favorite whipping boy:

I lost that war in the early 1980s, [...], because the fundamental turn in the technology - which we see represented in its most technologically degenerate form, which is Windows, the really crippled version.

The real point he was getting at is that user-friendly systems often discourage people from exploring the depths of their computers, in the same way that modern high school boys don't tinker with cars the way boys did in the 50s. (note: "boys" is in the original article). If the interface is easy and the guts are not user-serviceable, then fewer people will become hackers (in the positive sense of the word).

His obvious mistake is that if the interface is difficult, fewer people will use computers overall, so the absolute hacker count won't be much different. The key is not an interface that forces people to get their hands dirty just to use it, but instead design the whole system so it's easy to modify. An OS that comes with full documentation, editors, and a compiler pre-installed will encourage the development of more programmers, no matter how nice a GUI you put on top.

This is simply untrue. You can download Nautilus PR2 and test it and the Eazel services out. In addition you can download hourly RPM builds of Nautilus. I've been running these for a few weeks now and it's coming along nicely.

You can download nightly builds of Nautilus at nautilus.eazel.com. Hardly vaporware.

My machine runs KDE. How do I get Nautilus?

The Nautilus Desktop Environment currently does not run on KDE. To use Nautilus, you must first install GNOME 1.2 or higher, run GNOME for your desktop, and then install Nautilus.

That is rather rude. I suggest following the instructions from nautilus testing to get the latest hourly built rpms (or tarballs). I'm using it on Redhat 7, and it works except for the package view.

Eazel is supposed to make Linux easy to use for the very people Windows/Mac OS targets, and it will run on top of Linux:

I dont know: whats easier, adding stability to Windows, or adding hardware support and UI to linux?

Good question. The UI is something built into the system at a much higher level. This means that, programming-wise, a UI is far easier. However, hackers tend to have problems doing the part of the UI you actualy see, at least as far as your average users is concerned. This is why corperate funding thourgh the Gnome Foundation is very important to the future of Linux on the desktop: It gets rid of that achillies heal.

On the other hand, stability is something you have to deal with at a very low level; right down to places where you're using ASM in your kernel and libraries. This is a place where hackers rule. Microsoft started with a base system (DOS) that was OK for simple, single-user, single-tasking jobs at a command line. Then they started adding a GUI on top . . .

WinNT/Win2000 got rid of the DOS core. There was still some DOS functionality as of NT 4.0, but I beleive it was mostly removed for Win2000. In any case, it was put in more for backwards-compatibilty then anything else.

NT is also a microkernel, which means it naturaly has some extra overhead in it that Linux's monolithic kernel does not. The still-mostly-vapor GNU HURD is also a microkernel. If done properly, the extra overhead isn't that much. The question is, did Microsoft do it properly? I don't really know.

In any case, its much easier for hackers to create a stable and speedy core system, while difficult for them to make a good UI. On the other hand, its far easier for a corperate project to make a reasonably good UI, but diffcult to make a stable and speedy core system.

The good news for Linux is that we're not limited to using the hacker-meathod. Alredy the Gnome Foundation has been formed to make a great UI with lots of corperate funding. Also, don't forget Eazel, with some of the orginal MacOS UI guys working on a Gnome project. Whatever else you say about MacOS, it has a great UI.

This is very bad news for Microsoft, which is fine by me. Without turning entirely in the other direction, Microsoft has no way of harnessing the power of hackers to create a good core system, while the hackers have a way of harnessing the corperate-backed projects to create a good UI.

Helixcode and Eazel are basically competitors, both are trying to provide a very pretty interface, and then sell services/support based on that interface. Honestly I'm a little shocked that Eazel currently recommends downloading Helixcode Gnome in order to use the Nautilus preview release.

It would be interesting if Helixcode and Eazel decided to merge, they could really be an interface powerhouse.

If not, it might be worth considering, as it looks pretty spiffy.

Check out MoralDefense.com for some excellent Objectivist rhetoric.

I run Linux at home. And my personal boycott against MSFT products has been active since Windows 95. There's no reason to reiterate how much MSFT sucks to the /. community.

But, I also feel that a boycott should be the extent of my ability to limit Microsoft's power. Only the individual can lash out against a corporation: by not buying a product. The government has no place in this matter.

If you don't like Windows, be a geek, go to Fry's, and build your own friggin' computer so that Bill never gets his greasy hands on your prized possession. What's the issue?

Don't invite the government to save "the public" on this one. If you bought a MSFT product, you only hurt yourself. I hardly think that "the public" needs protection from MSFT.

Even worse with the case of MSFT is that they've actually provided a decent product to fill a market niche (albeit an incredibly large niche). MSFT has been offering a superior consumer product for years at an excellent price. Windows has brought law and order to the consumer computer market and helped to make computers useful for grandma smith and uncle bob. Windows is an excellent product in that regard.

Even worse, it's obvious that MSFT has had competition through the entire battle. As I recall, AAPL's headquarters are smack-dab in the middle of Silicon Valley; and SUNW's headquarters aren't far down the road. And SGI's and even the now defunct SCO (Tarantella?). There were plenty of choices out there if you really wanted an alternate. But, again: MSFT was providing a product that better suited people's needs at a much better price. Even today one can argue that Windows ME/2000 provides most people with more functionality than they'll ever need.

If you want to destroy Microsoft, don't waste your time with the government. Hack Eazel, GNOME, KDE; or some other Linux component that threatens the power or Redmond.

Now comes word that, as it was put to me, "Miguel and the Helixes" are in a running battle with Red Hat and Eazel, an organization with the temerity to actually develop for Gnome without sufficient and constant genuflecting to Miguel.

I've noticed various weird display problems on Windows and Linux systems when the display resolution is smaller or larger than the system the application was developed on. Plus, some of the operating system provided graphics and fonts do not scale well. Are there any fixes for this problem? What happens when we get 4000x3000 displays?

Yes, of course there are fixes. First, it's possible to do a decent job of scaling *anything*, even bitmap fonts and pictures, if you take a halfway decent approach to the problem. Hint: do you know what a sinc filter is? If not, you better find out fast, or you have no business writing a bitmap stretcher.

Second, a lot of the formats that are now becoming popular are inherently resolution-indenpendent, for example, any lossy image compression format - jpg (DCT), fractal encoding ;-), wavelets, whatever. Outline fonts too.

We need to carry this kind of resolution-independent design all the way through the entire system - from Web design to automatic screen geometry to font rendering. A huge task, but it's underway.

Probably the biggest obstacle is entrenched page/screen designs that were for some incomprensible reason, done with the assumption that screen resolution would never change. For a good example of this, just go to Yahoo. Notice how it's increasingly taking on the appearance of a postage stamp in the middle of your screen. (Note: screen resolution doesn't just *increase* over time, it decreases too. If you don't believe me, check out IBM's Linux-on-a-wristwatch.)

Even in the face of thoughtlessness on the part of web designers, we can patch up the resulting stupidity with scaling techniques. Check out Andy Hertzfeld's Eazel project and you will see that somebody out there is actually thinking about this.

id3 tags are in MP3 file because they're part of the MP3 file format spec.

NO! This claim is completely wrong. Please don't go around spreading such misinformation.

A brief glance at even the id3 site's own history page shows that id3 tags were created by a freelance programmer independently of the MPEG audio standard.

I hate id3 tags and do everything possible to strip them out of my own mp3 files. Yes, metadata is a thorny problem, but violating the MPEG audio standard and pretending the result is still an mp3 file is a cure worse than the disease.

I also have practical reasons for avoiding the id3 tag: most of the music I listen to is not of Western origin, and does not fit well into the Title/Artist/Genre classification system of the id3 one-trick-pony. And I'm not even getting into the problems that id3 and support programs have dealing with multi-byte charsets.

To keep this post vaguely on topic, I should point out that Eazel is working on ways to handle and present metadata without the need to break standard file format specifications. For example, take a look at the album screenshot with metadata consisting of the CD cover picture. I guarantee you that the CD cover picture is not embedded into the individual mp3 files.

At Linux World SUN was demoing Nautilus in their booth running on Solaris, with a bonobo aware copy of Star Office.

Honestly this is 0.1 release it is still pretty early. And the core team works only on Linux.

If there are any people out there who are interested in ports, please DO! Join the nautilus mailing list and come by #nautilus on irc.gnome.org. We will very happily take your patches.

Huh? Internet explorer looks like this?
I mustn't have noticed that last time I looked at windoze. Truth be known Nautilus' UI is based around a two-pane aproach. Big deal. So is Mozilla's, as well as a lot of apps. Even Slashdot uses a sidebar (or two) as part of its UI. Microsoft didn't invent that. If your range of experience isn't wide enough to recognise that then you should stay quiet before posting.

Wow - You really believe the dot-com marketing weenies. Hey, I've got some great technology stock to sell you. Its boo.com - this great e-commerce company with great potential. Convergence is a long way of in the palmtop market, but I just played with Jim Gettys' iPaq, and it runs GNOME, so Nautilus will be in your hand in not too long.

Konqueror, the KDE web browser, is almost ready now. I've been using it for a few weeks and it is standards-compliant and supports whatever JVM you give it. It's still a bit flaky, but not as much as NS4.7. Mozilla is also starting to look good, but still doesn't support Java on Linux. If you can do without Javascript try galeon which is built using the Mozilla rendering engine, and finally there's nautilus which is still not finished but supports all the things you want.

Actually, Eazel's logo is the oval with eazel in it shown here

Does anyone else get the idea when looking at Eazel's logo that the poor penguin is about to be squashed under the weight of the precipitously balanced puzzle piece? I hope it's not an allegory for Eazel's products' stability or performance.

Enjoy!

I was hoping for something a little more interesting, maybe like Jakob Nielsen's Anti-Mac Interface . The so-called "next generation" Nautilus interface is just a hackjob of the Windows Explorer. Why is this company worth $11 million in VC funding?

They will never be a "better Windows than Windows". OS/2 tried and failed. Then again this might not be surprising, if you consider that these are the people who created the horrible General Magic PDA interface.

or maybe these screenshots are just a cover-up for the really cool stuff their developing... :-)

There's also Nautilus, which will use gecko, I believe to render HTML. GtkHTML, as you mentioned, is simply meant to render simple HTML. It's used in Evolution to render and edit HTML emails.

how you say... imcriminating evidence? :)

In this screen shot here , which is a screen shot of an mp3 directory, it is plainly shown that you have one Metallica mp3. Now I think you might be in big legal trouble from Altern^H^H^H^H^H^H Metallica pretty soon. Probally shut down the whole project. And Slashdot too, for linking to screen shots implying the pirating of copyrighted music. Shit.
