RE: [SLE] Re: Small GTK Fonts in KDE
I just checked out your site www.usr-local-bin.org and I get the impression that you are a Gnome user of SuSE. I have always been a Gnome user and have favored distros like RedHat, Debian, Slack, and even FreeBSD. But I moved to SuSE when 8.2 first came out and I am addicted. However, I feel that SuSE definitely favors KDE. My question to you is do you exlusively use Gnome with SuSE? How do you find this to be (good and bad)? Because I constantly have the feeling that I am missing something in SuSE by not using KDE. And I feel that if I want to use Gnome I should just switch to RedHat. But my problem is I prefer Gnome-based apps like Evolution, Gaim, Gimp, etc. over their KDE counterparts. It's just that the display configuration is such a pain in the ass to have to run Gnome (GTK) apps in KDE.

Well, I'm obviously going to say that yes, I find using GNOME on SuSE to be very good, else I wouldn't do it, and I wouldn't invest all the time I do into making it a better option for other people. Yes, I exclusively use GNOME as a desktop, but not exclusively GNOME apps (I occasionally run camstream to change settings on my webcam - it's QT based), I've always been a GNOME user right back to it's very first 0.x releases, like you on Slackware at the time. I wouldn't say that using [ULB-]GNOME on SuSE means I miss out on anything, admittedly, I've never been a KDE user (I've tried it, but didn't like it), so I don't know for certain what it's like, but GNOME functions as well as I want & need. I guess one thing to mention is that the KDE control centre can embed the YaST components, but that's no big whoop really, personally, when I use YaST, I use the curses version anyway. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
