-> That has to be one of the funniest reviews I've read in a long time... Not
-> *quite* what I think, but definately entertaining.
->
-> It's a worry when people take this sort of stuff seriously though - I wish
-> people who feel the need to complain about pre-release Free Software would
-> either get off their butts and HACK or shut up and use something else. :)
they do... they use efm :) hehehe and help with it :)
-> > Is anyone using Nautilus?

-> I've downloaded, compiled and used PR2... and PR1 before that.

-> Not now, not now! It will only piss you off if you expect it to be top
-> quality software. It's really built on sand at the moment - most of the
-> crucial libraries it uses are changing every day, which results in some
-> serious problems.
->
-> You still can't run PR2 and Evolution on the same system without awkward
-> hackery because Evolution still uses an older Bonobo.
->
-> Nautilus will rock, but for entirely different reasons to most of the Unixy
-> software we're used to. Lots of people will hate it, lots will be amazed at
-> the neatness and cleverness of its interface.
->
->
-> In the mean time, if you want to play with a cool file manager, try and find
-> a tarball of EFM. There are some really funky UI ideas in it, and it works
-> quite well... for software that was never officially released and has since
-> been stripped out of CVS. ;)
it will be back for e 0.17 - we've taken a few lessons we learnt and
have "fixed" a chunk of them expect efm back in e 0.17 bigger and
better :)
-> I think I have debs lying around in my apt cache if anyone's interested in
-> playing with it. ObLinux.conf.au: Raster's talking about all this sort of
-> stuff, including hardware accelerated canvases, etc. Wacky.
yeah - anyone with questions about efm and why we "nuked it" and whate
happening and what will be coming along.. you can ske me in janruary...
at linux.conf.au :)
