All I can think to do at the moment after having
waded through piles and piles of crap comments
that have basically nothing to do with the topic
is rip my hair out and howl at the moon until my brain explodes..
JEEZ you people! Havent you ever heard of MONO!!
Get with the friggen picture here.
Novel loves GNOME, this is all a bunch of FUD.
Actually, Im on the mono IRC channel pretty much constantly, and I've also contributed a couple simple patches here and there.
I can tell you that we've had many interesting discussions on IRC about this very subject.
During our latest discussion Miguel de Icazza chimed in and settled things down. According to him this is all basically a miss understanding.
Nobody from Novel has yet to make *any* official statement regarding the issue, and according to the people working for Novel that I have talked to they are *not* going to standardize the desktop around Qt.
Novel will be making an official statement on this sometime soon.
Personally Im expecting the press release to go something like this:
1. Yes, there will be Qt apps. (This does make sense considering that Novel now employs a large number of KDE hackers thanks to the recent Suse acquisition.)
2. Yes, Suse is mainly a KDE distro at the moment and that is probably not going to be changing drastically any time soon.
3. No, GTK#/GTK+ apps are not going to disappear or otherwise be replaced in any way whatsoever. In fact if you look at one of Novels newest opensource offerings named iFolder you will see that it is in fact a GTK# application.
4. Yes, Novel is looking for ways to better integrate its Ximian desktop with the KDE desktop.
But don't make the mistake of thinking that GTK+/GTK# is diminishing or that Novel doesn't have a lot of Gnome love going on.
Having compiled some software and done
some research I can tell you from experience
that you do not need the "-mcpu" flag if you have
already elected to use the "-march" flag,
as the -march flag automatically applies
-mcpu for you.
If you think about it, it couldnt be any other way.

Sir, I salute you!:)
I only wish I had mod points to spare.
Fine, I think I understand you, your saying that its
right to go with the majority, to support what the majority supports.. because its easier.
Maybe that is why they did what they did
but that doesnt make it right. And you can say "its a choice, there is no right or wrong" all you want but just for a moment try to think about the children.. WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?
I mean come on.. its MS! Is that really the Monopoly you want to support and encourage?
Be honest.
Hello, Was the decision to no longer activly maintain the desktop edition of your distrobution based in anyway upon market trends that you have seen at Redhat regarding the penetration of GNU/Linux on the desktop?
We tend to hear a lot of hype in the Free/Open software world, and sometimes I worry that the current state of our little world is not as peachy as it is sometimes protrayed by the tabloids.
Does Redhat feel that GNU/Linux is doing well on the desktop at all?
