David, Fair enough - thanks for the scouting report. I hope you are wrong about separate binaries. It would be sad enough if we had to detect the distro and act accordingly :( A candidate for that is Ubuntu's integration of dynamic library loading with dlconfig. I think they have a good idea, but Cog goes to pieces trying to decorate the library name, when the module name as given is the place to look first. I would like to see other distros implement the Ubuntu solution, because it *really* makes sense.
What do you think of Gnome 3? Any recommendations to escape it (I'm not a fan). Unity is the sole reason I'm looking at other distros - given Gnome 2, I'd be an Ubuntu guy in perpetuity.

No tricks, it worked out of the box... although Gnome3 appears to have hijacked alt-click for moving windows. I'm only an occasional linux user, but I'd say it's on par with Ubuntu. These two platforms are rapidly diverging and I imagine we'll have to compile separate binaries before too long. On 4/11/12 12:13 PM, Schwab,Wilhelm K wrote: > David, > > Do you use FFI on Fedora?
