- </para>
-
- <para>

- by specifying a Redhat distribution version.

- When browsing, the user is presented with thirteen different categories, from Communications to Text Editors. Selecting the first, for example, opens a separate screen dedicated to communications software (Figure 4), with a list of package titles and short summaries.

- <title>Eazel Software Installer</title>
-
- <para>
- The Software Installer, which functions when accessing Services through Nautilus, takes into account your distribution,
- version, and current system, and installs not only
- the chosen programs, but also automatically
- installs the necessary dependencies.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- This is all accomplished with the help of a client-
- side inventory program built into Nautilus--
- making Nautilus an integral part of Eazel

-
- <para>
- Online Storage is more than just a one-directory
