[Linux-Biella] When Linux gets inspired by Mac OS X

[Federico Pistono]

Molto carino, si bullano parecchio ma sembra a merito...

Novell has just presented the next version of their NLD (Novell Linux
Desktop). The Novell distribution is based on SuSE Linux. Multimedia
management has been developed for this release, particularly support
for the iPod Nano (thanks to a mp3 player which was developed in-house
and has been released as OpenSource), as well as cameras where in a
few clicks photos can be published online.
But the biggest surprise is the new graphic interface which uses
OpenGL to create effects which you are all too familiar with, like
window transparency, switching desktops using a large rotating cube,
or creating a thumbnail view of a window.
