Maybe, but I don't intend to install Gnome now, except to see what's new. I think if the Gnome folk think they're going to reeducated millions of Windows users easily, they're sadly mistaken. Nor can the expect developers such as Sun (StarOffice), Netscape or webdesigners (many of whom devlope for IE!) to comply, and the result wil be ongoing confusion for Gnome users who will continue to have to deal with all these insconsistencies.. Heck, I dare not inflict Red Hat Linux 8.x on my wife who could be sure to complain that "it's different." I have entirely enough trouble moving to 7.x from 6.x, and to OOo from SO 5.2. -- Please, reply only to the list. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
