		The visual contrast between a Ximian and an IBM or HP was ironic.
		Ximian is very much the brainchild of Miguel de Icaza, founder and a lead developer of the GNOME project.
		As usual, the progenitor of the Mono project is Ximian's de Icaza, a charismatic figure who seems to have an ego to match his charm.

	LinuxPlanet - Reviews - Ximian GNOME 1.4: The Monkey Has Landed - The long wait is over.
		Ximian's distribution of GNOME is built around the proposition that in addition to the building blocks of the basic desktop environment, some added polish in the form of easier installation and more user-friendly tools are required to truly complete the end-user experience.
		To that end, Ximian has to be evaluated not only on the strengths GNOME brings to the table, but how well it succeeds in capitalizing on those strengths and making good on its promise to take them to the next level.
		Ximian's former CEO Nat Friedman pointed out several times during the gap between vanilla GNOME 1.4's initial release and Ximian's release of its final product that his company's purpose isn't simply to perform basic quality assurance and binary packages.

		On the whole, Ximian Desktop is a big step forward in the development of the Linux desktop.
		For starters, Ximian Desktop addresses two major deficiencies of Linux: the lack of a compelling personal information manager (PIM) and the labor-intensive work of installing and updating the Linux OS, desktop UI, and applications.

	Ximian changes open-source license \| CNET News.com
		Ximian, a company working to improve the Linux operating system for ordinary computer users, has made a philosophical shift in a key new open-source software project that now will be governed by a less-restrictive license.
		Ximian is changing the license for a key part of Mono, a project designed to duplicate Microsoft's.Net software.
		Mono had been covered by the General Public License (GPL), the same license that governs Linux, but a newer version of reusable software modules called "classes" stored in "class libraries" will be changed to a license that permits the software to be used in closed-source projects.

	LWN: Ximian XD2: The Way Things Ought to Be (OfB.biz)
		Ximian Desktop isn't even a full complete distribution, nor do you get lots of added free software goodies as in a full distro, not to mention the densely packed licensing minefields that this entails for many organisations.
		Ximian should be pushing open standards and really communicating those issues with people, not continuing to add to the MS Office format problem.
		From a hard-nosed business perspective, Ximian is at a stage where it has to really prove itself to Novell, and the worries of people at KDE being completely replaced in Suse etc. etc.

	Novell's Purchase of Ximian Entails Risks and Rewards
		To overcome the risks associated with Mono and Ximian Desktop, Novell must demonstrate that it is pursuing a "pro-Linux" rather than an "anti-Microsoft" strategy.
		Ximian sold proprietary products as well as contributing to open source, but ultimately it needed the deeper pockets of a vendor of commercial products to survive.
		Novell's ability to execute a smooth transition while maintaining Ximian's strength and independence is critical to the success of this acquisition.

		What's more, the Ximian version of OpenOffice.org includes a raft of nice new icons that match the look and feel of the rest of the desktop, and the suite is set up with gnome-vfs libraries, enabling users to browse through Samba and NFS (Network File System) shares from the suite's component applications.
		On the Ximian interface's desktop is a My Computer icon, reminiscent of the one that Windows bears, from which we could access settings, configure a printer, and browse NFS and Samba shares.

	Ximian Evolution 1.0 links Linux to Exchange \| The Register
		While Evolution is much larger piece of work than Ximian Connector in terms of lines of code, and time and effort to develop, it may be that Connector is the more important of the two to Ximian's future.
		Although Friedman says Ximian does expect some criticism and debate over the plan, he is completely comfortable with the model.
		Ximian Connector, Friedman says, "solves the two desktop problem" because now all the needs can be met on a single Linux or Unix box.

		When Novell made its surprise announcement last week that Ximian Connector was being released under the free software GPL license, I began to wonder if it marked the end of the Ximian era.

		I came to dread the interval between the release of a new version of whatever distribution I was running at the time and the release of a new version of Ximian to match it.

		My first attempt to install Ximian GNOME 1.4 -- using the Normal install option -- failed (see Resources for a link) because I had hosed things up by trying to install both Evolution and Nautilus on the previous release of Ximian GNOME.
		I sent a note to the folks at Ximian; they said they were aware of the problem and working on a fix.
