Anonymous writes "With the releases of Fedora 9, Hardy Heron and OpenSuSE 11 so close together, it's looking more than ever like an evolution to a common interface for major Linux distributions. Here's a compilation of screen shots and descriptions that make it appear to be the case. Would this be a good thing or a bad thing?" There are plenty of other options out there, of course, even considering only Linux distros that are based on Gnome and KDE, and plenty of wilder (or at least less common) desktops to choose from besides.

    One paragraph per page, with no particularly insightful or unique commentary. How flippin' lazy are /. editors these days? A horrible article - and some wanker just got thousands of page views for phoning it in. Ptooey!

    When did the gnome icon on /. change? it used to resemble a penis, but it was an old version. Gnome asked /. to update to their new icon, and /. so "no, cuase that looks even more like a penis".

    Now it doesnt look like a penis at all! I have mixed feelings over this.
