sRparish writes "Rasterman has made it to California, and has posted a very interesting article entitled: Post Mortem and Deliverance " He expands somewhat on things you've already read here, and compares his experience at RH to jwz's at Netscape.

It's official: After approximately 17 years of delay and hype, Raster has released Enlightenment DR 0.15. Get it and check out tigert's new theme. Look at the ripples. Play with all the little gizmos. Waste clock cycles and memory with reckless abandon. Its fun.

Booker writes "I'm just wondering... did anyone notice that Enlightenment DR 0.15 was released with the Gnome 0.99 stuff? It's over at ftp.gnome.org, under the gnome directory. RPMs and debs, as well. The E page isn't updated yet, so perhaps this isn't the 0.15 release?" update Apparently, although LinuxToday also published this story earlier today, readers are stating that this is just a CVS snapshot of what will be DR 0.15. Oh well. Updated title accordingly. update 2: Mandrake has confirmed this is not DR-0.15. Updated title again.

bradburn wrote in to note that The Enlightenment Webpage has received a significant overhaul. Still no DR final release of DR15, but if we got everything we want, what would we have to look forward to?

A new Linux distribution has been released. This one is called Linux-Mandrake and has nothing to do with Mandrake of Enlightenment fame. Its goal is to provide an easy to use environment for beginners, and provides out-of-the-box support for French users (accents, etc). It's based on Redhat 5.1 (with all bug fixes up to 17th July) and a fully functional KDE. Users can mount their CD's without messing with /etc/fstab. It seems a good idea as an introduction as long as it does not lead to dumber users. Please, NO QT FLAMEWAR. It just gives our moderator more to delete.

Chris Thomas (aka x5rings in IRCland) has set up a poll page to pick your favorite E theme. So run on over there and vote for Obsidian or Flaunt.

I haven't even had time to download the last one, but already the DR13.2 release of enlightenment is available for download. Go grab it.

Mandrake was kind enough to release Enlightenment DR 0.13.1. Mostly a bugfix release, the most notable improvement is the fact it will now compile under glibc, for those who were having trouble earlier.
