Powell details his journey throug the Ximian GNOME experience, starting with the download and ending in some configuration issues. A good read for those of us who have older systems."

    Why is it that when one of these stories hits /. there are so many AC posts? More so than the average in most other types of stories (i.e., those bashing 'M$')?

    Why can't we all just admit that there are some crappy, bloated open source apps? Is that just too painful?

    Also, what's with all the stories pointing to LunixAndMain and OregonLive? Do we have a new content agreement with them or something?
