I do have an iBook running Ubuntu 7.04 and I wish/can/will get GNUStep running there by compile from source, because that way at least I am in the same environment as a gnustep developer or frequent user. The platform independent feature of gnustep systems are also IMHO a problem of gnustep systems, that is if what you want is truly a system working as problem-free as possible, you don't get a "recommended tested environment". Such "recommended, tested, stable, working environment" is a vital requirement for working people like me who wish to experiment or use GNUStep for work. And as long as people don't use it for daily work (kind of "work" independent of GNUStep development), GNUStep is going to keep being an opensource developer's toy. With people using it for real work is a real big difference that makes an opensource project outstanding and successful (that's my understanding as an End user). One idea or possibility of bringing GUNStep systems into working environment is to expand and further test the GNUStep live CD project to make it an installable distribution or a sub-project of a certain distribution (GNUStep-ubuntu?). Just if people think this can be a good idea and there are people willing to work on it. Another question in case you have time and in case you are Chinese: did you try to use one of the opensource Chinese font in GNUStep or even further make some effort to make GNUStep-in-Chinese easy-to-install and usable? e.g. fonts like wenquanyi (or GNU Unifont) might be equipped with GNUStep to make I18N/L10N easier. Later when I have Ubuntu + PPC + GNUStep-compiled-from-source environment I'll try it myself when I got time. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
