Syllable 0.5.4 Released
AtheOSParrot writes "Version 0.5.4 of the Syllable operating system has been released. The lightweight, BeOS-alike is aimed squarely at finally realising the dream of bringing an easy-to-use, free software desktop to everyday users. 0.5.4 is a significant milestone in this direction with the integration of the new desktop, which is completely unimpeded by any legacy X-Windows foundations or toolkits beneath. This is no tin-pot bootloader with bitmaps snapped on; other features include SMP, networking, ATA/ATAPI, audio & video, 2D acceleration, GCC, USB & a 64-bit journaled FS with attributes. With desktop Linux still not having dented the 1% mark, will Syllable be the one to do to Windows what Firefox has done to IE? Also reported on OSNews.com, Golem.de and Linuxfr.org."
Syllable be the one to do to Windows what Firefox has done to IE?
Completely fail on the marketplace against it you mean?
Finally I won't be burdened with the well designed, extensive, stable and extremely functional X windows desktop! And by not re-using either the BSD or GNU kernels and toolchains, this OS finally discards the last vesitges of existing open source software to reinvent the wheel one more time! Yay!
How many times is there an article on slashdot about Yet Another Easy-to-use Linux Distro? I'm sick to death of it. The world does not need another Linux distribution! Get that into your worthless and feeble little brains, people. What the world needs are improvements to existing distributions. Is it any wonder why Windows-slaves give up when it comes to Linux? There is such a thing as too much choice you know!
