Gnome Removed From Slackware

Posted by Zonk on from the quite-large dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "After long consideration, Pat Volkerding has removed GNOME from Slackware. Pat mentions in the -current ChangeLog that GNOME takes a lot of time to package, so this move should allow more time to be spent on the rest of Slackware." From the changelog: "Please do not incorrectly interpret any of this as a slight against GNOME itself, which (although it does usually need to be fixed and polished beyond the way it ships from upstream more so than, say, KDE or XFce) is a decent desktop choice."

    Many modern distros (I use Fedora) install and use sub-pixel rendering by default. Gnome (and IIRC KDE) also has a control panel option to control this.
