begin Peter Ruskin's quote: | Good point about gentoo noticed so far: | It had KDE *exactly* where I have always wanted it: | /usr/kde/3/ | /usr/qt/3/ | ...and nothing of it in /usr/lib or /usr/share. I imagine dep may | be pleased with that.
dep is most assuredly *not* pleased with that -- it's in flagrant violation of the fhs! and gentoo's refusal to adopt the fhs is why it does not reside on any machines i have here. when gentoo adopts slavish adherence to the fhs, i will adopt gentoo, but until it does, i won't. there is a reason for this, too: i'll not play with anyone who makes such an effort at being a sole-supplier system. linux ought to be *exactly* what the software part of the unitedlinux distribution proposes to be. (the problem with unitedlinux is its "screw you, users" policy.) the only reason any of the commercial distros is tolerable is the relative ease with which one can make it into standard linux, though suse has done a great deal to make this more difficult, chiefly by dicking around with /etc. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
