====Mate====
~MATE is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2. The name derives from yerba mate, a species of holly native to subtropical South America used to prepare a beverage called mate.  The renaming is necessary to avoid conflicts with [[Gnome Gnome 3]] components.
