In my post I was using GNOME as an example of things, but it wasn't intended to make it sound like it was the only one that mattered. I'd characterize the two approaches I discussed in my reply to Marcel as 'the distribution is the product' vs. 'the distribution is the platform'. In the second case, you can see different desktops as each defining the 'user interaction' layer of different products, which can all be implemented on the platform called Fedora. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
