MATE 4.1 Unix http://mate-desktop.org/ MATE is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2.

It continues that long tradition of providing an intuitive and attractive desktop environment, but brings a much needed overhaul in both back and front-end functionality. The desktop still uses the much loved Applications, Places and System menus, so users familiar with that will feel right at home! MATE is bringing the GNOME 2 desktop into the modern era with new functions and features, like the system control center overhaul.
