NsCDE 2.2 has been released as the newest feature version of the "Not so Common Desktop Environment" that takes its inspiration from the CDE desktop once common with Unix workstations.

NsCDE resembles the Common Desktop Environment but with more modern features and higher system/user requirements than the original while being considered a lightweight hybrid desktop environment relying on FVWM.
