I looked at the document above, and didn't find it really answered my query. In any case, Fedora does not seem to follow the categories suggested there. In my view, the categories listed in the main Fedora menu are not well-chosen. In my main menu I have (among others) Administration, Utilities, Settings, System and Development. Maybe I am missing some kind of mental discrimination, but I have no idea which of these categories a given application will fall into. By contrast, I very rarely have this problem with the Windows XP Control Center, which seems to me much better thought out. I do agree, though, that the search facility in the Fedora 9 KDE menu is a very good innovation. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
