The Amiga X1000 shipped earlier in the year as well, so that just leaves Perl 6.

Let's not forget about Samba 4. I think it was in development for a good 7 years?
Good year for open source software.

Not to mention Wayland 1.0, AKA X12 in all but name.

And a slew of Kickstarter game projects had Linux as stretch goals, and made it, making Linux a very legitimate gaming OS, and Humble Bundle has definitely pushed the agenda quite well as well.

We're running out of comically long-term projects to anticipate. Other than hurd, I mean.

This is a wonderful christmas present, thanks to all the E guys.

Fantastic work - I've been using SVN for the past year or two and the betas as they were released (I tried to get on with KDE 4 but after a decade and more as a happy KDE user I could see the project doesn't really match my goals any more.)

I knew 0.17 was finally ready with the last beta when the mixer FINALLY stopped crashing on first use after boot!

It's virtually the perfect desktop environment for me, fairly frugal on system resources yet very attractive and most importantly - very, very quick and easy to configure _exactly_ the way I want it.

The only thing I'm not 100% happy with is the binary configuration format; I'd very much prefer text based config files.

Note for Fedora users

A repository with e17 packages can be found here:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories?project=X...

There's a pitfall: Fedora ships outdated versions of at least two of the enlightenment libraries, libeio and libeina, and if you just "yum install e17", yum will pull in those, resulting undefined symbols when starting e17. So make sure you install the libeio1 and libeina1 packages from the above-mentioned repository instead of libeio and libeina.
