Note that Unity is Free Software, not proprietary: don't spread FUD, please. Also Unity is derived from Gnome, so it's basically a different window- manager, a different panel, and a few other such details. I don't know the details, but for all I know you might even be able to mix&match (e.g. use the Unity panel with the metacity or compiz-fusion window-manager, or vice-versa). > http://m.zdnet.com/photos/ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat-released-whats-new-and-improved/473620 I haven't found anything there that's relevant to "BIG linux companies are going to proprietary UI". Stefan "who finds Canonical too Open Source and not Free Software enough, but it's not evil (yet?)" _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
