The Common Desktop Environment is a desktop environment for Unix and OpenVMS, based on the Motif widget toolkit. It was part of the UNIX 98 Workstation Product Standard, was for a long time the "classic" Unix desktop associated with commercial Unix workstations. After a long history as proprietary software, CDE was released as free software on August 6, 2012, under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2 or later. Since its release as free software, CDE has been ported to BSD derivatives. Hewlett-Packard, IBM, SunSoft, USL announced CDE in June 1993 as a joint development within the Common Open Software Environment initiative; each development group contributed its own technology to CDE: HP contributed the primary environment for CDE, based on HP's Visual User Environment. HP VUE was itself derived from the Motif Window Manager. IBM contributed its Common User Access model from OS/2's Workplace Shell. Sun contributed its ToolTalk application interaction framework and a port of its DeskSet productivity tools, including mail and calendar clients, from its OpenWindows environment.

USL provided desktop manager components and scalable systems technologies from UNIX System V. After its release, HP endorsed CDE as the new standard desktop for Unix, provided documentation and software for migrating HP VUE customizations to CDE. In March 1994 CDE became the responsibility of the "new OSF", a merger of the Open Software Foundation and Unix International. OSF became part of the newly formed Open Group in 1996. In February 1997, the Open Group released their last major version of CDE, version 2.1. Red Hat Linux was the only Linux distribution. In 1997, Red Hat began offering a version of CDE licensed from TriTeal Corporation. In 1998, Xi Graphics, a company specializing in the X Windowing System, offered a version of CDE bundled with Red Hat Linux, called Xi Graphics maXimum cde/OS; these were phased out, Red Hat moved to the GNOME desktop. Until about 2000, users of Unix desktops regarded CDE as the de facto standard, but at that time, other desktop environments such as GNOME and K Desktop Environment 2 were becoming mature, became widespread on Linux systems.

In 2001, Sun Microsystems announced that they would phase out CDE as the standard desktop environment in Solaris in favor of GNOME. Solaris 10, released in early 2005, includes the GNOME-based Java Desktop System; the OpenSolaris project, begun around the same time, did not include CDE, had no intent to make Solaris CDE available as open-source. The original release of Solaris 11 in November 2011 only contained GNOME as standard desktop, though some CDE libraries, such as Motif and ToolTalk, remained for binary compatibility but Oracle Solaris 11.4, released in August 2018, removed support for the CDE runtime environment and background services. IBM AIX Digital UNIX HP-UX: from version 10.10, released in 1996. IRIX: for a short time CDE was an alternative to IRIX Interactive Desktop. OpenVMS Solaris: available starting with 2.3, standard in 2.6 to 10. Tru64 UNIX UnixWare UXP/DS Red Hat Linux: Two versions ported by Triteal and Xi Graphics From its launch until 2012, CDE was proprietary software.

Motif, the toolkit on which CDE is built, was released by The Open Group in 2000 as "Open Motif," under a "revenue sharing" license. That license did not meet either free software definitions; the Open Group did not succeed doing so at that time. In 2006, a petition was created asking The Open Group to release the source code for CDE and Motif under a free license. On August 6, 2012, CDE was open-sourced under the LGPL free software license; the CDE source code was released to SourceForge. The free software project OpenCDE had been started in 2010 to reproduce the look and feel and feature set of CDE. In August 2012, when CDE was released as free software, OpenCDE was deprecated in favor of CDE. On October 23, 2012, the Motif widget toolkit was released under the LGPL v2.1. This allowed CDE to become a free and open source desktop environment. Shortly after CDE was released as free software, a Linux live CD was created based on Debian 6 with CDE 2.2.0c pre-installed, called CDEbian. The live CD has since been discontinued.

The Debian based Linux distribution SparkyLinux offers binary packages of CDE that can be installed with APT. In March 2014, the first stable release of CDE, version 2.2.1, was made since its release as free software. Beginning with version 2.2.2, released in July 2014, CDE is able to compile under FreeBSD 10 with the default Clang compiler. Since version 2.3.0, released in July 2018, CDE uses TIRPC on Linux, so that the portmapper rpcbind does not need to be run in insecure mode. It does not use Xprint anymore, can be compiled on the BSDs without installing first a custom version of Motif. Multihead display support with Xinerama has been improved. Since its release as free software, CDE has been ported to: Linux distributions including: Debian GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Slackware Linux Ubuntu FreeBSD NetBSD OpenBSD OpenIndiana Solaris 11 Future project goals of the CDE project include: Increased portability to more Linux, BSD, Unix platforms. Further internationalization into other languages.

Kotellets known as Koteletts, Karbonade or cutlets, are a German meat dish made of slices of meat from the rib area, including the bone. The piece of rib is found on both sides of the spine behind the neck. Koteletts are offered from pork and mutton, but they can come from beef. Koteletts are served either roasted or grilled, but in some cases they are served breaded; the part where the koteletts are taken from reach from the front to the hind leg. Due to the proximity to the neck, koteletts taken from the front are known as "Nackenkotelett" in Germany or "Halskotelett" in Switzerland; the middle ones are known as "Stielkotelett" or "Rippenkotelett" due to the long and fitting rib cage. The hind koteletts, including parts of the fillet, are known as "Lummerkotelett", "Lendenkotelett" or "Filetkotelett" in Germany or "Nierenstück" in Switzerland; these hind koteletts are low on bones and fat. Only the front part of the ribs are used to make koteletts; the hind part of the ribs is sold without the bones.

To the veal, koteletts from mutton are taken from the front or middle part of the ribs only. The front kotelett of the beef is known as "Hochrippe" and is used as boiled beef, goulash or, without the bones, as steak; the hind kotelett or the beef is known in two variants: without. Together with the fillet, it is similar to the t-bone steak. Without bones, it is sold as Roastbeef or rump steak. In some instances, the slices of fish with several centimeters of thickness that are cut vertically from the spine are known as koteletts as well, they are cut from bigger fish such as cod. In Switzerland, the popular Cervelat sausage is known as the kotelett of the laborer

Escaladieu Abbey was a Cistercian abbey located in the French commune of Bonnemazon in the Hautes-Pyrénées. Its name derives from the Latin Scala Dei; the abbey was founded in 1142 and became an important pilgrimage stop on the Way of St. James en route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela; the abbey is situated at the confluence of the Luz and the Arros rivers near the Château de Mauvezin. In the middle of the 12th century, a group of monks under the protection of the count of Bigorre who lived at Cabadur in the Gripp valley in the modern-day commune of Campan, near Bagnères-de-Bigorre, wanted to move to a more hospitable location and therefore establish the abbey at Bonnemazon; the abbey became the center of the expansion of southern French Cistercian expansion and founded eight abbeys in Spain and two in Gascony. The abbey was continuously inhabited by Cistercian monks until 1830 when it sold to an unknown local family. In 1986, the abbey was purchased by the Conseil Général des Hautes-Pyrénées which undertook its restoration.

The Abbey was passed by, therefore featured in the television coverage of, the 19th stage of the Tour de France 2018. Information about Escaladieu Abbey from the official website of the Conseil Général des Hautes-Pyrénées Official site More information about the abbey
