So, from all the reports I'm seeing Gnome 3 is really not going to work for me. It's designed to replicate a tablet/phone interface and I'm running a mouse/laptop interface. Plus, I like my sawfish WM and as we've discussed before there doesn't seem to be any way to put one's own WM into Gnome 3. I run Fedora and am currently on 13, but that's pretty close (or at) the end of its support life and I'm getting a new machine soon, so even putting Fedora 14 on it would just delay things a little bit. So, before I start se4tting up my new machine I'd like to decide on a Desktop that I can put in from the start and configure to work with Sawfish. Any recommendations for what would be a good one? Does Sawfish work under KDE 4.7? Some people on the Register comments on Linus' trash-talking Gnome 3 have said that while KDE 4.0 was terrible, the more recent versions of 4 are much better. Other recommendations I've seen on there include LXDE and Xfce. Not sure I want to go that minimal, since there seem to be some issues with things like sound compatibility.
I hope people don't feel this is off-topic but with Gnome 2 effectively becoming obsolete, if sawfish is going to continue to be useful to people we'll need recommendations for usable maintained desktops on which sawfish can be run. -- Professor Andrew A Adams [email protected] Professor at Graduate School of Business Administration, and Deputy Director of the Centre for Business Information Ethics Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan http://www.a-cubed.info/ --- -- Sawfish ML
