market? i thought this was gpl? ;) pipe down orly, if you're 30, i'm a bit older than you. though im not a unix geek that strives for complications and pronounce that as eliteness. i'm not. i have a job totally unrelated to computers but i've been on this nix bandwagon since '96. what i was pointing at was that linus (like me siguro) looks at gnome and sees it as just something pretty, while kde is just flat useful. though linus said some strong words, you do however understand that geeks tend to say whatever they want because it cuts through all the crap of pretension. maybe he didn't say it nicely along the lines of "i hope gnome is more configurable to my liking" but it gets the message through. > > > > i guess it all goes down to a choice: 5 years ago i worked with > computers > > > because i loved to do so. i loved coding. i loved hacking. today, i work > > > with computers because it enables me to live the rest of my life, away > from > > > the keyboard. i'm still grateful that my work is something i like doing, > but > > > it's a means to an end, and no longer an end in itself. > > > > your point? > > you'll get my point when you're 30. been there.... unfortunately ;( best regards, /nh > > > > _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) > Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph > > -- /nh _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
