Post your questions (one per post, please) for Nat below. We'll forward 10 of the highest-moderated ones to him, and will post his answers (verbatim except for HTML formatting) within the next week.

  1. Why GNOME? by Ed+Avis · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why do you even bother working on this GNOME thing when KDE is so much better?

    Problem is that small devices aren't usually x86 devices, so you have to solve the cross-platform deployment portability problem first.

    Unfortunately, Ximian appears to be pushing only one solution to this, and that is under the control of Microsoft.
