Star Interview with Jeff Waugh On Ubuntu Linux
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Thu 16th Sep 2004 00:28 UTC
Original OSNews Interviews The Debian-based Ubuntu Linux was unveiled today and a preview release is available for download. Ubuntu uses Gnome 2.8, kernel 2.6.8.1, OOo 1.1.2 and comes with a text-based, but dead-easy, installation procedure. Ubuntu has disabled the root user (sudo is used, same way as OSX does it) and it endorses the "less is more" philosophy. There are still bugs on the preview release, but the team welcomes feedback via their mailing list. Read more for an interview with team member Jeff Waugh (also of Debian and Gnome fame). Screenshots also included, and more are here to be found.

Here you go, this program shows a window with the current time:

aScheduledWindow := ScheduledWindow
model: nil
label: 'Time Now'
minimumSize: 200 @ 200.
aScheduledWindow component: Time now printString asComposedText.
aScheduledWindow open
