This is an interesting idea, but I have a few questions about it. I don't know how well it's supported. From what I can tell, it's based on GTK+2 and I don't know how well that will continue to be supported. We had a go at Trinity a while back as an alternative to KDE3, but that project didn't really have the support needed to keep up to date, especially to keep Qt3 up to date. I don't know what kind of ongoing support GTK+2 will have. I'm willing to look at Mate, but I think we would need to assure ourselves that upstream long term support would be available. I see that it is supported by the Linux Mint developers, so the support issue may be OK. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
