The repack wasn't *necessary* (maybe), but was a "good idea".
Can't agree with that one. I'd say it's more like ordering the basic model car with a manual and getting it and then taking it in and it comes out with an auto trans and power everything. The only thing missing is the bill.
I regularly use older hardware with no issues, and have no use for eye candy, and I'm not alone. But when we have complained about eyecandy, bling, and stability issues, we've been ignored or told we are wrong for not using the new stuff. That has gotten old. I know Carlos was trying to explain something. I just don't agree with the reasoning behind it. Richard Creighton's reply earlier summed it up best.
I, for one, am also against eye candy, particularly when it come at the cost of unreliablility, loss of function and poor performance. And if it's included, make sure it's easy to turn off. In a similar light, I can't stand to watch some TV shows, because the producers seem to think special effects are more important than content. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
