Hi Jim,
Recently a readed about a Internet Appliance that has a Net User
Interface and it makes that the Desktop looks like a browser. It gives
the posibility to browse the web, read/write mail, compose letters,
manage schedule. Is based on mozilla, a custom build kernel and Ret Hat
7.1. You can find info about it on www.oeone.com and there is a revision
also on newsforge.
Is suposed that all the software is based on G.P.L. software but seems
that the oeone people wants to give the source only to their "technical
customers" and want the distro lock-in to the hardware so there is any
info about the repository for rmps and no indication on how to get the
source code. It makes me angry >:{ . Would be nice to have a lot of ltsp
clients with an intuitive, easy to learn/use, Network User Interface. It
would be nice in places like information kiosk, net coffes or Schools.
Anyway I hope this helps.
Cheers
Offray Vladimir
