Are you distributing software? End users have a way to do this - bookmarks. If you want to package and design - you are a developer.

Yeah, and that isn't a real systems administation tool; otherwise they wouldn't have invented PowerShell [which is a really impressive tool BTW]. > BTW, Yast is not a GNOME thing AFAIK; it is only used in SUSE related distros. > GNOME System Monitor and "Details" under control panel cannot provide > any *detailed* hardware information. "it is only used in SUSE related distros" is not true. Yast is a project of its own. And I'd assume every decent distribution packages something for that purpose; if it doesn't that has nothing to do with GNOME.

Sure, but the list doesn't allow attachments. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
