Hi guys,

For years I used to have KDE on all my machines and I was very happy with
it.  Then I switched most of my machines to gNewSense (website: www.*
gnewsense*.org/ , review:
http://distrowatch.gds.tuwien.ac.at/weekly.php?issue=20070108#review) which
has Gnome as a default desktop (even though a KDE version is also
available).  So after years of KDE use I was forced to give Gnome another
try.

Guys - I *loved* it.  While Gnome has less stuff than the huge KDE
Desktop+OfficeSuite+applets, it has, I think, better designed and better
integrated tools.  I find Gnome wonderfully well organized and each tool is
more stable and 'purer' in its interface.  My *only* regret is that Nautilus
does not allow tabs, but other than that I love Gnome and I will stick with
it.

Then I remembered the ugly campaign by Torvalds (and others) of trashing
Gnome which, frankly, at the time I did not care about either way.  Now
looking back on it, I think that all that was in an expression of Torvald's
hatred of  *anything* with 'GNU' in it which itself, is an extension of his
hatred of anything related to RMS (be it Gnome or the GPL3).

Anyway - I just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to all the guys which make
Gnome possible and tell them (-: assuming that is needed in the first place
:-) that I wish them all the best and that I hope that some ugly comments
about their fantastic work did not discourage them.

Kind regards and many, many thanks,

Andrei
