"Two recent developments in Linux desktops
may interest enterprise network users: another
brand-new Linux graphical user interface and a
new X Windows release."
"Two weeks ago, Xi Graphics released a new
Linux desktop GUI called DeXtop.
... Because the desktop is based on CDE and
Motif, it has the same GUI used in Unix
workstations...
This
allows the desktop to be deployed in mixed
Unix/Linux environments with cross-platform
compatibility for applications and desktop
customizations compiled with the DeXtop
development environment."
"Also, the latest version of Xfree86 was
released earlier this month.
... Key improvements
include more widely supported VGA and
SVGA drivers for accelerated video
performance from several video card
manufacturers, such as Cirrus Logic and 3Dfx,
as well as support for 3D graphics rendering
and viewing."
