BTW, John: there seem to be some people with almost religious hatred of anything Mono based. I tend to ignore them unless they actually present some facts and arguments instead of just calling things names ;-)
If I actually used any mono apps, maybe I wouldn't argue against it, but I have seen no apps that I have any interest in running. IMO, things like Beagle should NOT be installed by default and/or there should be some kind of checklist for them. Like I have pointed out before, in my experience as a paid computer tech, 95% of my customers have no clue that they have a search tool installed. And, they are glad when it's gone because they can make use of there system since it's nowhere near as slow. Even Nero includes a stinking desktop search tool now. What a waste. I can't believe how many times I have found 4 or 5 tools installed and all running at the same time. And, now with 11.1, there was another tool that is loaded by default that evidently can't be removed if you are using KDE4. That's just another reason to avoid KDE4. Reusable frameworks are great IF you use a lot of programs that make use of them. The only gtk app I run is firefox, and I wouldn't run it if Konquerer was better as a browser. I don't run any mono programs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
