I know its supposed to *eventually* replace gnome1.x. However, its going to be awhile yet (see below). kde3 is supposed to replace kde2, also. > people at MDK so they have the time to build it in the /opt directory > until it's ready for inclusion in /usr, hence obsoleting kde2. But I > have a feeling Frederic is already quite overworked. I think this is the one thing I dont like about mandrake. it seems too kde-centric. There are alot of people(users) that dont like/use kde (me being one of them). it doesnt work for me. it never has. I force myself to use the newest version every once in awhile for at least a week (so I can get familiar with the differences over gnome), and I always come back to gnome. I think mandrake need to reassign some developers to help out Frederic :). > > I've been using GNOME 2 every since beta 2. Some of the applets don't > work and such, but no big deal.

Besides applets, and some other stuff *ahem* sawfish *ahem*, its fairly nice. Unfortunately, some of those applets are important to me :) unfortunately, untils some more porting to gnome2 is done, it wont be usable for me (except as a plaything). I just think its irresponsible to *replace* stable software(gnome1.4) with very-much-in-beta-testing-not-quite-there-yet software (gnome2). yes I know I dont have to download it, yes I know that this is cooker and meant to be unstable, but by people like me downloading it and trying it, thats how bugs, etc get fixed and the software made better. Besides, they did it with kde. again, this is just a suggestion, not a flame. I use cooker exclusivly and report bugs when I find them (if they havent been reported already). If the gnome1.4/gnome2 things isnt/wont be changed, thats just less software I can help make better. and that would make me sad :) well, anyway, thanks for the reply David > > -- "I find your lack of faith disturbing." --Darth Vader --- 3:05pm up 19 days, 1:51, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
