That is, icons consist of thumbnails for graphic files and the first few words of each of the first few lines of text files. In icon and list view modes, click on a sound file and it begins playing until you mouse away from it. Another nicety would be an option to right click on any file and shell it even if it didn't have an .sh extension. In addition to trying out Nautilus, Linux users can also take part in a preview offering of the services that will soon underpin Eazel's business model. Services are accessed through Nautilus itself or through a Web browser.
Eazel registration is required, however, to access public directories.
See Eazel's privacy statement here . A download service is also offered that can be accessed through a search engine or category index. The selection is fairly large, with about 1,757 rpms available under the Red Hat 6.2 section. Together, these preview services represent a nice initial start, and a level of service that Eazel may plan to offer free of charge on an indefinite basis. However, the service preview in its current state falls far short of Eazel's ultimate goal of offering a complete remote system management service.
