gtk and linux

2011-11-03 Thread Craig
Hi,

Is there a list of linux flavors like Ubuntu, KDE, Red Hat... that
include or don't include gtk? And, let's say that a type of linux
doesn't include gtk, how difficult is it for an average computer user to
install gtk (on a scale of 1 to 10)?

Hello Craig,

It seems that an average user has to be able to install linux and then 
configure it (if possible). That is why I cannot give you an skill 
level... maybe 7, or 7.35-7.63 :)

Even if your disto does not have GTK packages, you can build them from sources 
or try to search for some ports. This task probably can be performed by 8 or 9 
skilled average user.

Thanks,
Vlad

I think all will include gtk, either as part of the standard install
or available via the package manager. To install from the package
manager you just need to type gtk and click the install button
(details vary a bit).

Even this step is usually done for you: if you install a program which
needs gtk, gtk will be automatically installed for you.

Building and installing the whole of gtk from source requires a lot of
skill and work, but I think no regular user would ever need to do
this.

Use distrowatch.  It lists the packaged version of Gtk+ for every
version of the distribtion.  E.g. for Fedora:

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora

and see the row labelled gtk+.  Distros that do not package Gtk+ at all
are very rare (mosty those not including any GUI whatsoever).

8.47654138908745330124567, maybe 8.47654138908745330124568.
