Even stronger, Nautilus is _intrinsic_ to Gnome. So, if you miss out one, you miss out the other, and anyone trying to issue a KDE-only distribution would doubtless be shot down by the 'more choice' brigade ;) I never really see what the terrible objections to Nautilus are; it's a perfectly acceptable file manager which is slickly presented. And, say what you like about Microsoft, it's got that very important aspect of computing done and dusted: one of the biggest barriers to the man on the Clapham omnibus* accepting Linux is that most GUI applications are anything but slick ... Alastair * couldn't resist that wonderfully colourful expression; the USian equivalent is John Doe :) ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service.
