“De Icaza is orchestrating the development of software dubbed
“Gnome,” a sophisticated line of programs full of graphics and
icons that aim to make it easy for ordinary users to run computers
with Linux, a non-Microsoft operating system.”
“Like Microsoft’s Windows operating system, Linux and Gnome
allow users to simply click on icons to start up programs, write
letters, play games and surf the Internet.”
“Even though the software is free, de Icaza said, money will be
made in supplying technical support.”
