OEone HomeBase Desktop

Posted by michael on from the training-wheels dept.

Mike Potter writes "OEone has released its OEone HomeBase product as an open source project, and a free download. HomeBase is a complete operating environment that runs on top of Mozilla, with the base operating system being RedHat Linux 7.1 or 7.2. There's a review of it over at Newsforge. Some of the OEone software has already been released as open source to other projects. For instance, OEone's calendar was the basis of the Mozilla Calendar project."

    "HomeBase is a complete operating environment that runs on top of Mozilla, with the base operating system being RedHat Linux 7.1 or 7.2"

    Oki Oki, how about Running it Under Wine in Internet Explorer window, which will be running VMWare plugin, inside which there will be RedHat Linux 7.2 running Mozilla and HomeBase on top of it... That will be really cool :)

      Great idea but then you need to add that one final touch. Do it all in a Virtual PC session in OSX.

  3. Linux terminal for high-endusers by BroadbandBradley · · Score: 5, Funny
    in the nice demo tour at thier website, near the end it shows top running in a terminal window, the caption says:
    Linux terminal for high-endusers

    of course I thought, hey it's great someone is thinking about us stoners and providing the features that us really high end users need.
