I started with SLS Linux (eeek!) about 1993 or so, then onto Red Hat 4.3, 7, Slackware, etc. with more than a few breaks here and there. From what I recall, the debate was fundamentally about more options and complexity vs. fewer options and good defaults. There were good points on both sides and the idea of good, intelligent defaults always makes sense, but it all too often (IMO) seems to end up being "too few options" and lowest-common-denominator defaults (i.e. dumbed-down). In other words, if I wanted a "fruit" computer I would've bought one. :-) -- Len [email protected] from Evolution on Xubuntu Linux -- xubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
