Some further clearificationSome further clearificationPosted Sep 20, 2002 17:34 UTC (Fri) by X-Nc (guest, #1661)Parent article: Distributors and application configuration Havoc posted a very good reply to this topic in the Valhalla list recently. He stated than none of either GNOME or KDE's API's had been touched and the changes were all in configuration so there would be no serious problems upgrading to newer versions. My feeling is that it is about time SOMEONE did this. GNOME and KDE are good (not great, but good) desktop environment projects but it's now getting to the point where there's no reason they should not be 100% interchangable. We in the *NIX and Software Libre worlds like having choices for everything on or systems but if Linux is going to make a dent in the desktop market it will have to have One True Way<tm> and all the distros and projects and companies are going to have to accept that this will need to be one of the many options they will have to support.
