I am not forced to use the GUI. But if a distribution includes both GNOME and KDE, it means there is more testing, which means longer release cycle. It also increases the number of CD's to store everything. Well, this last part is not such a big deal. >Or do you feel that Linux development is wasted on GUI dev? There is enough developers to go around, so there is nothing wasted. But if you look at all the new projects, they are all either GNOME based, or KDE based. Whatever happened to console apps or curses? I still use PINE to read email. It's only a matter of time before even this application disappears (i.e. the maintainer stops maintaining it). --jc -- Jimen Ching (WH6BRR) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
