EDE(Equinox Desktop Environment)是轻量级、模块化、轻便型的类UNUX操作系统的桌面环境,能运行在非常古老的硬件设备上。4月22日它正式发布了2.0版的第一个测试版。新版增加了大量新代码和特性,最主要的变化是用FLTK替换了eFLTK,全新的edelib库,遵循fredesktop.org标准,基于Bugzilla的bug跟踪器。edelib的功能包括创建窗口,保存程序配置,通过D-Bus通信,载入图标主题等。

EDE (Equinox Desktop Environment) is simple and fast desktop environment with familiar look and feel. EDE uses FLTK toolkit for GUI presentation and UNIX philosophy for it's design. 

With UNIX philosophy, EDE splits each component in separate executable entity to do one job and do it good. This makes EDE very easy to alter for user needs and requirements. 

EDE is light and fast. It uses C++ carefully yielding fast startup, low memory usage and great portability. Also, we care not only about how fast EDE runs, but how much time is needed to compile it. 

These facts makes EDE a perfect desktop environment for older computers and embedded devices. But, you can use it on your everyday hardware too. 

Goals
EDE does not comes with "provide-everything" philosophy. Our goal is to provide desktop environment only, leaving specialized tools and applications outside. For example, why to create yet another browser when Firefox, Seamonkey or Chromium can nicely cooperate with EDE.


最新版本:2.0
这是一个主要的版本,包含很多新东西,基于 FLTK 后端,重写了几乎所有模块,增加了一个新的 edelib ,特别加强了与外部应用的互操作性。
