What's GNOME? My co-worker works with linux since I joined the company about 3 years ago, he uses it at home exclusively (though seldomly), he's a programmer like I am, but he doesn't care so much about stuff that's not work-related. He knows Windows. I have trouble explaining to him what X is, what GNOME is and where the line between them is. You are already presupposing too much knowlegde on the poll taker's side imo. -- Markus Bertheau <twanger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
