Galaxy is IMHO a step to follow RH and Blew. (Yes spelling intended) I'll agree with it being rather dull, but it isn't really all that bad. As for mdkkdm... I've yet to figure out why it was done.. but it was. At least they were smart enough to allow you to opt out (drakedm is the tool) Now on the unified menu system. That IHMO is the single best thing they have done with look and feel. In our office there might be 4 or 5 different WM's being used by any one team... and the menu is always the same. Creating an RPM for MDK is a ton easier than for RH or SuSe as well. One set of scripts. Cut paste and tweak and it works. RH's solution seems to have been to remove everthing but Gnome. (I use Ice in remote situations, myself and WindowMaker and fvwm are popular here.), yet no matter which one you use..... The menu doesn't change.
