The Desktop Dilemma (Open for Business)The Desktop Dilemma (Open for Business)Posted Aug 13, 2002 14:47 UTC (Tue) by tjc (guest, #137)In reply to: The Desktop Dilemma (Open for Business) by mgb Parent article: The Desktop Dilemma (Open for Business) Powerful tools such as linuxconf are replaced by half-assed tools which require huge X-windows libraries. This of course depends on your definition of "half-assed" and "huge." :-) The "redhat-config" tools in Limbo are nice, and most of them even work! There were some problems with redhat-config-xfree86 in the first beta, but this has been fixed. They all use GTK2, which could reasonably described as huge, but I don't know if they link Gnome libs or not. One would hope not. LILO was deprecated before GRUB could boot from RAID. Are you sure about this? The release notes for 7.2 contained the sentences "We now use GRUB as the default boot loader. However, LILO is still available for legacy installations." But I haven't seen LILO appear on the deprecated list. On a related note, some of us are still wondering what happened to Tkinter. It's status appears to be in limbo..
