Thoughts on LinuxWord: * SuSE's movie was pretty awful. * The SuSE 7 demo almost made up for the movie - SuSE's new Yast 2 should make it one of the easiest distros to install and configure - very nice! * Sun, HP, Compaq, Dell, et al announced support for the GNOME desktop at the show - Miguel's Helix Evolution looks like a very useful email client - GNOME Office will consist of Sun StarOffice+Evolution email - it seems likely that Sun and others will adopt GNOME office once Evolution is solid - How does all this impact SuSE and its KDE support?
// I think GNOME's move to leapfrog KDE Office by adopting many parts of StarOffice was a smart move. StarOffice needs only a little work on import and export of file formats to be a competitive alternative to MS Office. Helix Evolution and an eventual calendar tool of similar design, far exceed MS Office capability. I am thinking about trying GNOME again. Comments?
Since I have little occasion to use a WP like xwp or SOffice, it makes little difference to me as a technical user. But I _would_ like to know how to fetch and install the very latest GNOME tools. Can this be accomplished in SuSE with few commands? Since both KDE and GNOME change virtually hourly, what I have is probably overdue for an up-rev. Also, will the latest GNOME even run on 6.4 (2.2.16 kernel)? gary -- Gary D.
