Slackware Likely To Drop GNOME Support

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 10, 2004 @09:07AM from the doesn't-stop-you-from-using-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After Hewlett Packard, who jumped off of supporting GNOME, Red Hat has followed by splitting their Desktop Linux out to Fedora which is community driven, and now distributions like Slackware have started to drop GNOME entirely in favor of KDE. Read more about their decision here. It looks like companies as well as distributions start focusing towards one solution." Patrick Volderking's quoted message doesn't announce a final decision to drop GNOME from Slackware, however -- and as the followups in that thread note, it could be interpreted as an endorsement of the good job done by Dropline in packaging GNOME for Slack.

Hate to reply to a sig, but first, you are breaking the law by selling your vote. Second, you are an embarrasment to all conservatives for offering to sell yourself so cheap. Third, you are promoting a pyramid scam. Bah!
