EDE or Equinox Desktop Environment is a small desktop environment that is meant to be simple and fast. Previous 1.x versions were based on a modified version of FLTK called eFLTK, while later versions are based on FLTK.[2]

In EDE 2 (currently in beta) eFLTK has been replaced with FLTK and EDE's own library, edelib.[3] edelib contains functionality for creating a window, saving program configuration, communicating via D-Bus, loading icon themes, etc.[4] EDE2 will be following the FreeDesktop.org guidelines.[5]
EDE is not as common in Linux distributions as other desktop environments such as KDE, GNOME, and Xfce. It is available as an optional package in MINIX 3.[6]However, EDE is available in the Mandriva Linux medias since its version 2009.0.
