Introduction

The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.

R14.0.1 is the first maintenance release of the R14.0 series and it is the result of several months of ongoing effort by the development team. Maintenance releases are intented for bringing bug fixes to users in a more promptly manner than minor releases, while at the same time preserving the same stability by avoid the introduction of new features or major software rework.
