I understand where you are coming from. I gave up on GNOME some time ago when I was just installing and testing one of the commercial distros. I also had an issue with the KDE window manager, but like their applications. My solution is to build KDE and XFCE and run the KDE apps in XFCE. Works fine. As far as dropping it from the book, I'm not so sure. I think we have a decent snapshot and can leave it alone without either upgrading or dropping it. A note at the start would explain our position. One thing I'd like to point out is that a lot of people really didn't like KDE4 when it first came out. It took a couple of years to get it into reasonable shape. Perhaps that will happen to GNOME. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
