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.

R14.0.2 is the second maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and it is built on and improve the previous R14.0.1 version.
Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both new features and major codebase re-factoring.

FreeBSD Support

Additional developers or contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and applications are always welcome :-)
