26 January 07 - 15:33Mandriva breaks new ground... AGAIN!
Yesterday I downloaded the latest live CD offering from
Mandriva... It's the 2007 Gnome release with integrated Metisse window interface.
You've seen the latest "3D desktop" for Linux - that is, the Compiz/Beryl spinning cube and wobbly windows. They are very nice, but they only really offer a few "useful" tools that help the interface between human and window desktop. Not the same with Metisse, in my opinion.

As usual, we had a pretty darned good break. It's difficult sometimes to be such a long way from the rest of the relatives during times like these, but we (my wife and I) certainly do enjoy our quiet time together.
This year I received some pretty awesome gifts for Christmas, including some great additions to my Star Wars collection.
