[TBW]NeXuS schrijft: "Op C|NET kwam ik een artikel tegen over een nieuwe GUI (graphical user interface) voor Linux, genaamd Eazel. Deze wordt momenteel ontwikkeld door ex-Apple en AOL werknemers. Interessant vooral voor Linux-newbies: er wordt getracht deze interface zo gebruikersvriendelijk te maken (kunnen we verwachten van ex-Apple mensen)."
Veterans of Apple Computer and America Online are setting their sights on the Macintosh equivalent of Linux--in other words, a version of Linux your mother could use.A start-up called Eazel is at work on a graphical user interface (GUI) for Linux that founders say will extend to every aspect of the Linux computing experience. The project is an extension of the Gnome user interface.
With the current Gnome and the competing KDE user interfaces for Linux, it's still hard to avoid typing in commands, an activity notoriously unpalatable to average users. Though showing some signs of growth for desktop use, Linux still is used predominantly on servers.
Eazel's technology and management team has deep roots in Apple and AOL, the two companies most famous for creating and marketing consumer-friendly computing products.
