MaXXDesktop.com live

Hi all,

I am happy, relieved and excited all at the same time because MaXXDesktop.com is live at last. MaXXDesktop.com is slowly becoming our new home from which everything that was previously scattered on different sites are now all centralized in one-stop-shop!

MaXXDesktop.co is in its infancy phase really. Lots of contents, a new look and feel and applications needs to be installed and migrated. In a nutshell, our new home will provide to the MaXXDesktop community a place where we can discuss, blog, share, document, deploy and test new things and more importantly showcase the great SGI Desktop experience.

MaXXDesktop .com will also serve the purpose of launching the new development effor for the MaXXDesktop Modern Edition which is of course based on the existing desktop (that we also call Classic) and build a new modern all OpenGL and vector look and feel desktop. We aim at fostering creativity and productivity with maximum performance and not over blotting user experience :)

Your comments and feedbacks are always welcome and see you at http://MaXXDesktop.co

I love this. Installed fairly straight forwardly, with minimal fiddling (mostly symlinking expected libs to missing libs).

I see you've done some nice approximations to IRIX utilities like gr_osview, and gmemusage - the latter is pretty impressive, IMO.

I'd *really* like to see the presentation program IRIX had - I forget what it was called now, but I've not seen anything as comprehensive since. Unfortunately, I think it's probably IRISGL only and no one considered putting the effort into porting it to OpenGL instead relying on toogl. Any chance of you guys porting that tool too, sometime in the future (I know you have your hands full, to put it mildly).

Max.

Hi there and thanks for the comments.

@Max Waterman, the presentation software is called ShowCase. There is NO equivalent even as of today ;)
