Description

EDE (Equinox Desktop Environment) is simple and fast desktop environment with familiar look and feel. EDE uses FLTK toolkit for GUI presentation and UNIX philosophy for its design.

With UNIX philosophy, EDE splits each component in separate executable entity to do one job and do it good. This makes EDE very easy to alter for user needs and requirements.

EDE is light and fast. It uses C++ carefully yielding fast startup, low memory usage and great portability. Also, we care not only about how fast EDE runs, but how much time is needed to compile it.

These facts makes EDE a perfect desktop environment for older computers and embedded devices. But, you can use it on your everyday hardware too.
