Perhaps it would help if I read more of the actual email thread but what I read quoted on Phoronix left me with a different impression. What I understood is that the author is suggesting they create a GNOME centric OS based around the Linux kernel. It could seem then that their current efforts to keep it OS independent _may_ be left behind as a result but that's still assuming all their devs agree that's a sound choice going forward. Who's crazy enough to start a new OS distro these days? ;)
For what it's worth, I'm rather fond of LXDE for its minimal use of system resources; http://lxde.org/lxde#System_Requirements -Gary _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
