Nautilus was developed by Eazel as a method of delivering Eazel Services. With the dot com bust, Eazel had trouble finding investors, and they were forced to release it early in the hopes of getting revenue from services. Nautilus for GNOME 1.4 is far from optimised, and so is quite slow and bloated. Nautilus for GNOME 2 is much leaner and faster then its predecessor. > Now I want to take it off my system.

If you're a GNOME user, and you're simply frustrated that GNOME automatically starts Nautilus, you should know that you can disable it without uninstalling it (Nautilus can be useful at times). Simply go to the Nautilus Preferences menu and tell it not to manage your desktop. If you want to upgrade Mozilla or Galeon, use the --nodeps option when installing them via rpm. Note that if you upgrade Mozilla you will likely break Mozilla web browsing support in Nautilus (file management and GTKHTML browsing will still work, though). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan What's this script doing? unzip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; gasp ; yes ; umount ; sleep.
