Ximian GNOME 1.4 Offers New Features

Ximian, Inc.(formerly known as Helix Code), released the latest version of their GNOME shell software earlier today. This build offers innovative software updating, new file management functionality, online support, and is packaged with the Mozilla Web browser.

The current version does not run properly on the unstable version of Debian GNU/Linux, however Ximian is working on a fix.

As taken from the press release, Ximian GNOME 1.4 key features include:

• Mozilla Web Browser - fully-integrated and continually updated for the Ximian GNOME desktop.
• Red Carpet - an integrated software management application.
• Nautilus - next-generation file management functionality from Eazel.
• MonkeyTalk - online community chat support facility built into every application and staffed by trained Ximian personnel.
• GNOME Doorman - a wizard-like application that helps users through the initial process of configuring their desktop.
