unmadindu writes "Christian Schaller has written an interesting article on SVG's current and possible uses on the GNU/Linux desktop.

    • GNU is the most common core utilities and Libraries
    • X handles the mouse, keyboard, and monitor
    • KDE, GNOME, Blackbox, or twm (etc) is the desktop or window manager

    Yes, I do know it was a troll.
