The only issue i see and trust me it is on the horizon. is what happens when wheezy comes out aka the next debian stable and your forced onto gnome3 anyways. I too run debian and am using gnome2 but i will not fight the change that is coming. The only thing left is someone continues patching gnome 2.3x and adding features but it seems so far that nobody is up to the task. The distro's themselves just repackage the upstream product and so that means no more gnome2 since upstream has next to dropped it. I remember when gnome first came out and everyone including me hated it and preferred kde . _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
