there is one major difference: all free unix flavors SHARE libraries and apps, and are consistent with one another. which is exactly what i would expect of the two desktops. but G&K don't (or almost don't). besides, if Gnome and KDE were to the desktop world what Linux and FreeBSD are to the OS world, things would be a bit different, wouldn't they? ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
