Personally, I think XFCE and Gnome would be my preferences, in that order. XFCE because it's light (although we'd probably have gnome and kde libs installed anyway for several games) and Gnome because it's the default for Fedora and what Joe Sixpack will expect if he's used a vanilla spin. Nothing against KDE, just seems simpler this way. In fact, given the library deps, just using Gnome and not installing XFCE might be lighter still. I agree with Rahul, we should be focusing on the games, despite our personal preferences. For example, I maintain nexuiz, even though I SUCK at it. :) > _______________________________________________ > Fedora-games-list mailing list > Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list > -- novus ordo absurdum _______________________________________________ Fedora-games-list mailing list Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list
