Yeah, appearently the *nix way is to follow the GNOME HIG. (Presumably this is also where the OK-on-right came from...)

With some fonts (especially those fixed width fonts in code editors) a "l" (small "L") looks exactly the same as a "1" (a one), which makes sure that the guy maintaining the code will have fun a-plenty.

For ease of writing such horrid code, I recommend the Bistream Vera Sans Mono typeface. All those characters can be distinguished from each other, and there are bold, italic and bold-italic variants for your syntax highlighting needs. Just because you want to confuse and antagonise your fellow cow-orkers doesn't mean you have to suffer yourself!

Download 'em here... :-)

Beagle uses a new kernel feature called inotify which triggers an event any time a file is created or moved etc. Beagle watches for these events and reindexes files straight away, if needed.

In terms of the actual indexing, Beagle uses a C# version of Lucene which is designed for speedy searching.

I read about beagle for linux it seems to be very similar in functionality. http://www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/

This isn't a coherent sentence.

Okay sorry man, I was trying to understand what you were saying, and now it's clear that I have to look past what you wrote and just try to figure out what you meant. I didn't mean to waste either of our time.

I hope I am entitled to have my own reasons for switching?

Oh sure. But the reasons you gave made no sense to me.

I hope you are not suggesting you get the same benefits of C++ in C

No! No! NO!!

I'm suggesting that if C++ is what you want to use, you should use C++. Because GNOME was written in C, you can use a C++ WRAPPER that hides the non-C++ API. I'm suggesting that unless you are working on GNOME itself you should not CARE what language the API is in, at least if you have a decent C++ wrapper to hide the C API. One other anonomous dude said that gtkmm isn't as good as Qt, which doesn't change the fact that my comment was that YOU don't have to CARE that the APIs are C as long as you have a good wrapper to HIDE the C. (And if gtkmm sucks, maybe someone else will write a better wrapper.)

One of the biggie reasons they wrote GNOME in boring old C is that boring old C is so easy to interface to. There is a C++ wrapper (gtkmm), there are Python wrapper, there are Scheme wrappers, etc. GNOME language bindings page

You are trying to turn this into a screaming match about switching desktops.

No. I'm not a troll. I don't do screaming matches.

Your reasons made no sense to me, and I was pointing out why. It is clear to me that I only wasted both our time. Just do whatever you want dude. But man learn to READ (I still can't believe you thought I was telling you to wrap C in more C, I gave you a link to gtkmm what more do you want).
GNOME is a difficult for sys admins by kuom · 2004-10-10 16:02 · Score: 5, Insightful · on Slackware Likely To Drop GNOME Support

I might get mod down for this... but here it goes.
My company recently made the switch to Linux, replacing most of our Windows desktops with Linux (servers are all already *NIX).
I was invovled with the project since the planning stage, and everyone seemed to agree that GNOME was the best choice because at the time (and it might still is), GNOME was the default desktop for most commercial distros. We thought to ourselves: "Oh well, these guys must know something that we don't." Most of us ran KDE, we gave GNOME a small test drive, decided that it looked easy enough and voted for it.
Big mistake.
First of all, GNOME lacked documentation on how to customize it. For gconfd, the GNOME web site only provided 2 links, one of which is dead, and the other was last updated in the year 2000. I asked around on IRC, posted on forums and newsgroups, emailed the GNOME developers, but I did not get any responses. I ended up taking apart all the %gconf.xml files myself, and saving a profile and writing an ugly script to convert it for every user. I am sure there is a better way, but either no one has done it, or nobody cared to share.
What's worse, are the bugs. There are minor bugs that really put a dent on the overall Linux experience, especially for those users that we just switched over. Some of them have already heard about how great Linux is, and how "stable" it is. This only makes them angrier when their Nautilus window craps out and leaves them a core dump (shows up as a little bomb). I looked up some of the bugs, most were already filed, but none fixed. Just a little while ago, there was an email on the nautilus list asking people to help fix bugs, so I think some of the developers agree with me that there are way too many outstanding bugs. When I asked some of the GNOME developers, the response I got then was to "upgrade to 2.6, it is much better than 2.4!". Sounds familiar? Yup, Microsoft told me the same thing.
The similarity doesn't end there. I installed 2.6 and tested it. In my opinion, it was worse. Yes, the spatial view is kind of cool, but you know what it reminded me of? Windows 95. And there is no easy way to turn it off (I would have expected to have it as an option in the drop-down menus). It was not more stable either, but I WAS running an early build of it. I, again, complained to some people about how 2.6 did not quite live up to my expectations, and the answer? "Wait for 2.8, it's GREAT!"
All of this is not helping the Linux desktop movement, especially in my company, where the management was already not really happy about switching over to an "inferior" OS. This just gives them more "evidence" to talk about: "We were right. My WindowsXP box crashed much less often. Linux IS a piece of crap!" But in reality, it was only Nautilus that was crapping out when connecting to a WebDAV mounted drive, not the underlying OS... but they won't understand that, would they?

The similarity doesn't end there. I installed 2.6 and tested it. In my opinion, it was worse. Yes, the spatial view is kind of cool, but you know what it reminded me of? Windows 95. And there is no easy way to turn it off (I would have expected to have it as an option in the drop-down menus). It was not more stable either, but I WAS running an early build of it. I, again, complained to some people about how 2.6 did not quite live up to my expectations, and the answer? "Wait for 2.8, it's GREAT!"
All of this is not helping the Linux desktop movement, especially in my company, where the management was already not really happy about switching over to an "inferior" OS. This just gives them more "evidence" to talk about: "We were right. My WindowsXP box crashed much less often. Linux IS a piece of crap!" But in reality, it was only Nautilus that was crapping out when connecting to a WebDAV mounted drive, not the underlying OS... but they won't understand that, would they?

The logic, if you had read the article, is that Gnome is a nightmare to package, especially if you happen to be the sole maintainer of an entire distribution.

Have you ever personally built Gnome 2.x from source tarballs without problems? Have you ever successfully changed the target install directory, so that making a package (tarball, rpm, whatever) is easy? And that's not even counting the new libraries popping up all the time, often with undocumented dependencies. And then there's miserable pages like this, which have the basic list of dependencies, but only provide links for 3 of them.

By comparison, KDE is simple to build. It's just a dozen or so source tarballs, all of which do the "./configure ; make ; make prefix=/temp/package_to_be_tarballed install" thing quite easily, without major dependency issues. X.org or XFree86, QT, and a recent XML2 library are all that's needed, last I checked.

Slackware dropping Gnome has very little to do with how the two desktops compare when being used, and everything to do with how they compare when building from source. If this alleged email from Patrick is true, then it just means that he's sick and tired of Gnome's chaotic, maintenance-intensive mess of libraries. I don't blame the guy.

My Precious.
They should build a FAQ for the screenshots.
