Eazel Installer Update
We've updated the Eazel Installer to improve the download and
installation of Nautilus and its components. The new version of the
Eazel Installer:

*Simplifies the process of installing Nautilus.
*Provides capabilities for using the installer as the root user and
under the tcsh command shell.
*Improves the error-handling capabilities for installing Nautilus on
nonsupported platforms and on systems with limited disk space.

If you have had problems using Eazel Installer for installing Nautilus
or if you simply haven't downloaded the installer yet, please go to
http://www.eazel.com/download/eazel_installer.

Eazel Featured in Newsweek
Steven Levy, of Hackers fame, has written an introduction to Eazel's
network user environment, comparing Nautilus to the Microsoft .NET and
Apple Mac OS X environments.  The article, along with Nautilus
screenshots, can be viewed at
http://www.msnbc.com/news/497966.asp?cp1=1.

Sun Adopts Nautilus Software
Eazel and Sun have announced a distribution agreement whereby Sun will
ship Nautilus software as part of the GNOME 2.0 open-source desktop
environment for the Solaris operating system. This will provide Linux
and Solaris users with the same easy-to-use environment across the two
platforms.  In addition, Eazel and Sun will work together to improve the
accessibility, internationalization, and documentation of Nautilus.
More information on this announcement is
available at http://www.eazel.com/press.

Dell Announcement
Dell and Eazel have announced an agreement for Dell to ship the Nautilus
network user environment with its Linux-based desktop and notebook
computer products. In addition, Dell Ventures--Dell's investment
