[snipped] I can live with having gOS and gdm rather than kdm or kdm4 (the desktop managers used by the GNOME Desktop and the KDE desktop) but having a GNOME desktop is the biggest barrier to me using gOS. There was once a version with an Enlightenment window manager, but it is no longer available in the download mirrors - can't that be revived? It used the GNOME menu system but had the Enlightenment eye candy when using the Google desktop - which IMHO is far preferable. I'd welcome a gOS version based on KDE (or based on Kubuntu) but adding the kubuntu-desktop package to gOS loses the Google Desktop, and Kevin has said there will NOT be a KDE version of gOS. So I'm stuck with asking if we can have an alternative version of gOS based on a different window manager (eg Enlightenment, Xfce, etc) other than GNOME. To make it clear, I HATE AND DETEST GNOME, so if there is no alternative, I wont even be trying gOS in future. -- Graham Todd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
