11:22 AM - Étoilé
Now that Étoilé is in mports, I thought I'd start looking into using it properly. :)

What you can't see from my first screenshot is that I was manually starting the various processes. What can I say, it was early and I was just happy it compiled. Presuming we can get everything working well, I could see using Étoilé. The UI has potential and I was shocked how fast it was. I suppose the similarities with Mac OS X made me expect Tiger speed. My desktop is beating my wife's new Mac Pro hands down while running MBSD + Étoilé + various GNUstep apps. I've only got a Pentium D 805.
Honestly, I was beginning to have doubts about this project's choices. This has really shown me that we're doing the right thing.
On a side note, I guess I'll find out if Just Journal can handle the accents in Étoilé. I don't know :)

It's great to see someone picking up Étoilé! We're really excited about it, and it's good to know the excitement is contagious. Good luck with MidnightBSD -- we in the Étoilé community will be watching to see how the system progresses. Jesse Ross http://jesseross.com
