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."

    Sure, it makes an interesting project, but it's hardly a realistic "OS", more an outlet of the programmers' artistic expression. It might break new ground in creativity, but who wants an OS in a browser? I mean come on!

      Active Desktop was pretty much the exact reverse - bring the internet to the desktop, bypassing the browser

    Call me a troll and mod me down to Hades, but what's the thinking behind putting an announcement regarding yet another Linux mutation on the front page while the announcement regarding the new Powermacs is cooped up in the Apple section?
