redefining it as a smaller circle (openSUSE minus GNOME).
This is not now nor evey was contemplated. It exists *only* in your mind. The entire discussion was based in making a default choice based on expected usage and was not to show partiality or demonstrate a better-worse situation, and was intended to address the new linux user only. Those with some degree of familiarity have no difficulty in choosing that environment which they wish to use. Most of us have tried many of the various desktops available after our first install just to see what was available. I can guarentee that I use the desktop I choose because I tried all that I found available over a period of time and choose that which I preferred. I do have gnome, windowmaker, blackbox, fluxbox, fvwm2, icewm, twm and kde installed and have at one time or another utilized every one of them since I installed 11.2 on 23 June. You *obviously* prefer gnome. Have you not tried any of the others before making your choice and are you not interested that one of the others may have a feature you might like? The world and hopefully the openSUSE Community will not fall based on the placement of one tick on an installation screen for a computer operating system. Your loyalty is commendable, but please look past the end of the tunnel. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
