XPde 0.4.0 has been released

It's a desktop environment(XPde) and a window manager(XPwm) for Linux. It tries to make easier for Windows XP users to use a Linux box. Nothing more, no clipboard compatibility between Gtk and Qt applications, no emulation of Windows applications, no unification on the widgets of X applications, just a desktop environment and a window manager.



July 30, 2003. The XPde Team today announced the immediate availability of XPde 0.4.0, a major upgrade to the XPde desktop environment, while it's still in beta and under heavy development, this release includes a lot of improvements regarding stability and usability.

This release has been focused on improve the existing features instead of adding new ones, although several important new features have been added, like the Registry Editor or the Device Manager. We encourage to download this new version which is far superior to the previous one.

XPde includes a desktop environment, a window manager and several other tools to make your desktop experience easier. It's available for free under Open Source licenses, you can download the sources and binaries from http://www.xpde.com.

红旗怎么就没有想到用这个XPDE呢？那样岂不是模仿得更象？

基于 kilyx 的，也就是基于 QT 的，和kde差不多吧，不过感觉dephi可是不如c++来的快！
