There are some distro-specific utilities that probably won?t find a home in fd.o. Notable examples include the Anaconda installer, package manager, X.org configurator, user account manager, mountpoint configurator, etc. It is up to the distro to create desktop-specific frontends for these utilities. Some distros like K/Ubuntu are proceeding in a _systematic_ manner to separate function from GUI presentation while at the same time ensuring that the KDE frontend is just as comprehensive as the GNOME frontend. Fedora?s attitude seems to be: ?Forget KDE distro integration, we?re not going to bother?. But I?d love to be proven wrong :) Vlad PS: As others have pointed out, these concerns also apply to ncurses frontends (or lack thereof) on servers. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
