Star SymphonyOne 2008.1 Released
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 11th Apr 2008 19:26 UTC, submitted by ryanpq
Linux The SymphonyOS project released a new version. "The SymphonyOS Project is pleased to announce the release of SymphonyOne 2008.1, our first major release in almost a year. SymphonyOne is an almost 100% rewrite of all the Mezzo desktop code taking advantage of more features of fvwm to provide a smaller footprint and more stable environment. Based on Ubuntu 7.10, SymphonyOne provides a complete desktop environment and full Ubuntu compatibility on systems with as little as a 200mhz processor. SymphonyOne also introduces our new WebApps system which allows you to make any website into a program in your programs menu which runs as it's own process in it's own window."

This is one of my favourite distro experiments out there. I hope they can solve their problems, I'll see if I can donate something ;)

Why a distro

I really, really like this project - and having seen the concept screenshots for the mezzo desktop, they have a LOT going. But to be honest, I fear a lot of work is wasted on making a SymphonyOS, instead of trying to create a kick-ass Mezzo desktop. They are basing it on Ubuntu anyway, I wish they would concentrate their efforts on the DE, instead of having to maintain a whole distro ...

SymphonyOS should use Gobolinux instead of Ubuntu as its base distribution in order to offer a real new paradigm in the Linux desktop world.
