What To Look For In Fedora 10
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 10 will feature two new desktop environments: Sugar and LXDE. Sugar is
| the desktop environment used on the OLPC XO laptop, making it a very
| interesting choice for Fedora. Perhaps more US schools will adopt it? It will
| definitely be interesting to see where it goes.

Trying out LXDE
,----[ Quote ]
| This is my first time to try out LXDE. I am curious about it and there are
| certain things that I am glad are in LXDE. For one thing, Alt+F2 also pops up
| a run dialog box so I could type the name of the application I want to run.
| There are even suggestions as to what I could run when I typed the first how
| many letters of the application’s name.

Ubuntu Hardy gets Sweeter with Sugar!

A Cutting Edge Sugar User Interface Demo
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I have to say that I'm very impressed by the improvements that Sugar
| has seen over the past few months. While it may take some time for them to
| trickle down into the stable builds it's great to see into what general
| direction things are moving. Personally I'm currently running faster 2056 and
| it's a relatively smooth ride so far with the notable exception of 'record'
| not working. And as much as I love 'record' the improved activity startup
| time alone more than makes up for this loss.

Why Sugar is a big deal for Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| Leigh Dyer explains why the low-cost laptop interface is shaking up the OS
| world, and predicts why it could appear on millions of Windows systems.

|
| More radical changes may be in store for the future. A lot of Sugar's
| features, like the mesh networking, user presence support, and the Journal's
| file store, could be useful across the Linux desktop, so these may end up
| decoupled from the Sugar UI and made available for separate use in a range of
| applications.
