Re: [Cooker] more on LM8.0 beta2
Look.. I am not being an extremist.. its a fact that the current (and all your GUIs till now) look really horrible. They are nowhere compared to Qt/KDE GUIs.. this could be because i work with them under KDE.. if that is the case then you guys shld make sure that gtk gets a theme which looks good under both KDE and GNOME.. right now they simply suck... and thats the reason why i say that it could be because of Gtk.. I know for sure that Qt and KDE applications look the same under GNOME.. and hence if I were you, I would prefer Qt.. And what did you do to help? And by the way, I use Mandrake because it is pentium optimized, not because of something you call a nice gui. so now hackers have a new library to hack! And people with big mouths have to learn to shut them up. -- mvg. Klaas Barends GBU InternetServices http://www.gbu-is.nl/
Re: [Cooker] YaTE
Sorry. No sarcasm intended here. What I mean is that with this suggestion that we have lists of packages that different people would like to use ( a Linus Torvalds list being a list of programs that Linus would like to have on his machine) we may end up with thousands of such lists that would bring us to square one. Remember, the problem we are trying to solve is the number of programs to choose from and the unnecessary duplication of function introduced by installing many programs doing the same thing. How about a Bill Gates selection, including ofcourse a game of patience and the BSOD screensaver. *grin* -- mvg. Klaas Barends GBU InternetServices http://www.gbu-is.nl/
Re: [Cooker] YaTE
Maybe it would be an idea to give the mandrake install a beginner option. Which wouldn't install five different types of programs for everything. The more advanced user can of course easily choose between the different options, but the beginner hasn't got a clue, and probably gets confused. When I look at the KDE menu it gives me three different kind of editors, and vi and emacs get installed as well (When all you really need is vi :) ), it gives me loads op media and cdplayers (besides the console ones) etc. etc. -- mvg.
