Gnome 2.10 Released

Posted by timothy on from the getcher-torrent-on dept.

    Isn't Knoppix primarily a KDE live CD? Isn't it Gnome that has inspired this user to want to try Linux? If this is so, why would he want to try something based around KDE?

    Since GNOME changes its default applications every couple of releases (Galeon --> Epiphany and so on) I think GNOME is doing a good job in spreading many different applications for each task. ;-D

    I admire your work, but you lost me in between the 1.4 and the 2.0 releases.

    Somehow you got into competition with KDE and you forgot your simplicity roots. I have multiple linux machines, some slow, some recent. None are now desktop GNOME compatible with each other.

    If I may suggest, go load OS/2 and take a look at presentation manager. Look at it twice if need be. Its simple and it's fully OOP and takes up less than four megs of ram. If you don't understand the concept of WorkPlace Shell, then ask your conections at IBM.

    Meanwhile, waiting for you to improve. I use XFCE4 on my desktops/P150 laptop. K3b, dia, anjuta, bluefish etc. all work seamlessly and great.

    Just a suggestion,
    Enjoy.
