I feel so meta now. Good night.
Honestly: I think the XFCE debate is about a subset of a subset of a subset of users.
Bigger or smaller subset of a subset than the fluid-soundfont users? Bigger or smaller subset of a subset than the texlive users. Note that installing a desktop after the initial installation is not as trivial as adding a "normal" package, because stuff like display managers are selected at installation time.
How many people really do offline installs these days?
I do. "offline" in the sense that the DVD gets served via Gigabit vs my 50MBit internet downlink which gets in practice less 10MBit from download.o.o Installation from the internet takes more than half an hour. Installation from local gigabit takes less than 10 minutes. DVD is 4.4GByte download, rsync repo-oss it's 35GByte.
How many of them do XFCE? I totally understand the decision.
But I'd say there are facts that seem to have not been considered when deciding to go for GNOME and KDE only. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
