Read the second update I appended to that article. It refutes the claim that GNOME technologies are being integrated into XFree86 code. Since, then, the XFree86 fork has been revealed to the public: http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7501 It is called Xouvert, and it is platform-agnostic just like XFree86. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {PGP/GnuPG: http://dhanapalan.com/yama.asc 049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "I don't think it's right and I think it causes people to make decisions which are not even in their best interest. A, we're not evil. B, we're not an empire." -- Steve Ballmer, objecting to Microsoft being called "The Evil Empire"
