[praka123]

^yeah!forgot Foresight Linux and Conary experiance

 

[contactpraven2001]

keep going buddy ........... gnome ........... gnome........

 

[subratabera]

GNOME 2.20 will surely give tough competition to upcoming KDE 4.0...Let's wait and watch...

err.. well if you consider the stock eye candy then gnome loses out to kde.

ofcourse!Gnome lives for simplicity and usability,while Trolltech's-qt's Kde is for options and options to set and eyecandy by default.

 

[infra_red_dude]

but hey wid gnome in our hands we can even compete wid Mac OS X for eyecandy!!

 

[praka123]

^I hope ur yet to hear about the badmouthing of Gnome by kde fanboys try slashdot!
btwn ya all remember- Linus recommended all to shift to Kde and ditch Gnome(gr8 man, ) and now Linus is arguing C(Gnome) rocks and C++(qt base/kde) sucks.
is it hypocrisy?

I think Linus is flexible and accepts things as it changes....it is a quality of a really educated human being and Linus is just one of those very few.

Sorry pal, but I do not think it is hipocracy.

 

[infra_red_dude]

no, seriously vish. no wonder i prefer gnome: light, simple, extremely customizable. these are really the strong points of gnome against kde.

 

[Pathik]

KDE fan here.. But not a fanboy.. Ll switch to gnome if i like it more..

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah i used to prefer kde too (mebbe even now after kde 4 is released). but extremely customisability is whats pulls me to gnome.

 

[praka123]

kde too advertises customization as its big point.many prefers kde for customization thingy only.@ird:u can try kde4 soon.
Gnome may(can) not be able to achieve the superiority and apps,customizablitly as in kde.
g33ks may be living in europe afaik Europe completely prefers Kde!
while US,India and few other countries shows Gnome usage larger(may be ubuntu?)

but still Gnome DE is a darling for newbies and non-tech-savvy(non-geeks) people to use as Gnome "simply works" without customization after every install.although Gnome hides its customizability as registry.(infact some says a registry db is a good idea that it saves all configs and option in a central location).no,not the way windows(binary) registry works and bloats and slowing down the system.

Above all Gnome is the project of -->FSF
reg,the earlier post
just to refresh what Linus told.

+1

But waiting for KDE 4.0 (4.1, 4.2... etc. to be more precise) eagerly...

 

[infra_red_dude]

let kde 4 be released first... lets wait and watch.

 

[praka123]

infact u can get more ideas about gconf(registry?) here:
*polishlinux.org/gnome/gconf-gnome-under-the-hood/
and gconf cleaner
*code.google.com/p/gconf-cleaner/
debs for debian,ubuntu:
*www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1229

 

[infra_red_dude]

actually its better if gconf is kept minimalistic in nature. we don't want it to become analogous to the windows registry!!!

 

[praka123]

gconf is actually xml files unlike win registry.

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah, but giving too much control to it is not good!
