I'm a happy BeOS refugee this morning after having just tried Simply GNUstep. Simply GNUstep is a new Operating System that runs on the latest Linux kernel compiled with the latest GNU compiler. This new OS is way more (perhaps by being less) than just-another-Linux-distribution. It aims to be similar, extremely similar, to Apple's OS X. However, Simply GNUstep, unlike OS X, will run on your PC. In fact, you can be running it in under 15 minutes from this very moment.

I have two things I wanted to note - (1) GNUstep should support TrueType fonts (answering the author's question), if it uses XFS, like a good X11 desktop environment should. (2) I don't understand how using GNUstep can make one question whether we need KDE. KDE is much more mature and robust than GNUstep in it's current state, and features a large variety of quality applications. KDE also a great, well thought out framework - QT is very nice to work with (so I hear), and technologies like DCOP, KParts, and aRts push KDE's capabilities far ahead most others. Hey, and KDE implements themes such as "Aqua" just like the author must look ahead to the future to see on GNUstep.
