Novell threatened that the new Linux desktop system is ahead of Windows

Article title: Novell threatened that the new Linux desktop system is ahead of Windows. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
The SuSE Linux Professional Edition desktop system was launched in April this year. It includes all the frequently used updates for a modern, full-featured Linux desktop system: Firefox 1.01 Web browser, Novell Evolution 2.0 groupware client, 2.6.11 Linux kernel, and the KDE 3.4 or GNOME 2.10 interface you choose.
　　
In addition, this version will be equipped with OpenOffice.org 2.0, the latest version of this popular desktop application suite, VOIP (IP Voice) Linphone, and compatibility with iPod.
　　
At the same time, SuSE Linux Professional Edition is not only a collection of advanced Linux and open-source technologies. SuSE has also contributed to the development of Linux desktop.
　　
"For the first time, we were ahead of Windows," said Nat Friedman, vice president of Novell Linux desktop system engineering ." Although this professional version is not publicly available, attendees who once saw its true nature think that the words of Friedman are not without reason.
　　
Beagle, one of the most encouraging features, is a new integrated Desktop metadata search program, which is similar to Google's Desktop 2 or Apple's Spotlight, according to some observers, index the content on your hard disk in some way.
　　
As shown at the meeting by Friedman, Beagle's Display Uses Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine. It is not only an attractive and interactive search tool, but also a Mono-based C ++ program.
　　
It may also create a program named "Dashboard", according to Friedman. The Dashboard function is to automatically display useful files based on the user's current actions. For example, when you write an email about the plan for next week, the Dashboard may automatically display your schedule for that week.
　　
This new professional edition will also have the Google free photo editing, organization and web publishing program Picasa 2 that users are familiar with only for Windows platforms. But in the Novell environment, its name is changed to the F-Spot photo management tool.
　　
In addition to these features, the Professional edition also includes Xen 2.05 visualization software. The software will allow users to run multiple processes at the same time.
　　
Looking forward to the prospects of the Professional Edition, Ed Anderson, vice president of Novell Linux and platform services, hinted that Novell is considering making its development path public. "We are working on creating a community-based Linux, just like Red Hat's Fedora. We really appreciate the many things in the Fedora project, but there are some things we don't like very much ."
