Ximian Desktop 2 Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-this-the-future dept.

Bruha writes "Lewt over at Warcry News Network has written his review for Ximian Desktop 2 targeted at the home users that are looking for a good desktop solution. He mentions this is a good product that could be bundled with Redhat or Mandrake to provide a one stop solution for the desktop user where they dont have to install any extra software to fully surf the web. Which you do with KDE/Gnome installs of most distro's."

    Well considering I wrote the review I could of went into all that mumbo jumbo about it had this feature, it lacked this feature.. Frankly my criteria was very short.. Stock install of RH 9 then ran the command to install XD2 and logged back in and performed the baisc things a desktop user would do..

    You cannot do that with a stock install of RH 9 with the KDE/GNOME interface at all.. you've got a ton of 3rd party utilities you may or may not have to install depending on your use of the web.

    If you want something detailed then instead of taking 3 hours I'll put in a weeks worth of the freetime I do these things in and prove something useful to you.

    Or perhaps everyone's complaining becuse the word Microsoft or SCO was not included here.

    But all this feedback is quiet useful since everyone can learn from critics :)

    Thanks

    Your post is stunningly ironic.
