OEone New Releases and Review

Posted by michael on from the linux-for-the-masses dept.

Mike Potter writes "After our initial launch, we received a ton of requests asking for support for RedHat 7.3 and Mandrake 8.2. OEone is happy to announce that HomeBase DESKTOP is now available as a free download for those two platforms. There's a great review of OEone DESKTOP at Linux Orbit."

  1. Gee, you shouldn't have. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    No, really. I mean you shouldn't have. Sure it's pretty and all. But, I can't really compare this to KDE 3.0.3 on RedHat 7.3 with Star Office 6.0.

    Now, maybe if my grandmother was still alive and I was going to setup a mail station for her, maybe I would use it. But, as she's dead, you shouldn't have gone to all that trouble. I myself will never use it.

  3. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    But you should have told me before I wrote it. It took me a long time to write it, you know. If I had known that your grandmom had passed away, I could have saved myself a lot of time.

    Thanks for nothing, pal.

    The fact that it was reviewed by a guy named Gonzo John certainly lends it an air of credibility.

      Could be really cool if it was by Dr. Gonzo...
      "We has two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.... A quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls..."
      and a linux desktop to review... We can't stop here, this is daemon country!

    If you say the name out loud, you are required to shout the word "DESKTOP." It's in the EULA.

    How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
  6. Re::((( EULA with DRM... by Peter+Harris · · Score: 4, Funny
    ... I realized that they are trying to defend theirselves legally from DRM module suppliers' wraith ...
    I knew DRM was evil. Now companies using it are sending out their undead minions to enforce the EULA. If it was just zombies or even ghouls, we would be OK I suppose...
