  1. Re:GNOME team seems more aggressive than the KDE t on Gnome 2.10 Sneak Peek · · Score: 1
    I don't see what Mandrake starting as a Red Hat fork has to do with this? They have been a distro on their own for a long time. It may also be that the developers of Mandrake like KDE, but that does not make it a KDE-distro. Yes, that does leave us with one Gnome-distro in the top 9 (all hail Ubuntu, who would need more than that :-D), 3 KDE-distros (one of them beeing a live-cd) and 5 desktop neutral distros. Love and peace win.
    And what does Mandrakes use of GTK have to do with their desktop of choice?
    A KDE-distro would ship with with KDE configuration tools.

    I don't know anything about Fedora but I don't think that defaulting to foo does make the whole distro a foo-distro. Mandrake ships a very nice Gnome and you can choose not to install KDE at all, Mandrake will even default to Gnome in this case. There's even the little thing about Mandrake's GUI config tools using GTK. I don't see how Mandrake is a KDE-disro, it's just a default.

    If you want the coder own his code don't let him show it to anyone; if he does show it (and someone cares) you need a police state to keep it under control.
