Because gnome is moving in that direction too.
There are other desktops besides GNOME and KDE. Actually I prefer the ICEWM window manager. I was running a 1999 Dell 450mhz PIII with 128 megs of *SYSTEM* ram until the summer of 2007. Let's just say that GNOME and KDE were out of the question for me. On my current desktop, ICEWM flies. But I also have a netbook, and again GNOME and KDE are not usable. > Seriously guys, you start sounding like luddites. Is new, must be bad. Correction, is fat, bloated, and slow, must be bad. I wonder if Microsoft's anti-linux strategy is to have its agents infiltrate the linux developer community, and turn linux into bloatware. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
