A)He uses a RedHat(tm) variant (Fedora) which has a reputation for being a lot more heavily Gnome-promoting than KDE-promoting. I get the impression that KDE in Fedora is something of an afterthought. B)He switched over KDE 4.0 (and I can't say that I blame him - 4.0 was a lot more stable than most people seem to think, but it didn't DO anything, except for displaying Shiny Bubble Icons). The stories were making it sound like he'd just recently switched to Gnome, rather than back in the KDE 4.0 days. C)The interview in question mentions that he'll be trying out KDE again when he gets around to a new install, so whether he stays Gnome or KDE probably depends mainly on how well Fedora's implementation of KDE 4.2.x works. (Of course, the article also hints that Gnome might be making some major changes too - we'll see how that goes.) |

Saint Torvalds uses Gnome. The Colonel uses Gnome. |

CP, Mixed metaphors will lead you astray, e.g. the Quoting:Saint ...part you are thinking of RMS. I have seen the photos, he plays the part. Next Gnomes, those are ugly beasts and you are bragging? YBT |

What do you use Gnomes for Colonel? |

Gardening, it makes the worms feel better to see lower life forms. |

Is there anything Gnomes can't do? TEM said: "you are thinking of RMS" I really don't think Dickie would want to down grade. Pro tip: Do not get Gnomes drunk. Ever. |

which begs the question: what do you use DRUNK Gnomes for, Colonel? On second thought, please don't answer that one. |

Quoting:what do you use DRUNK Gnomes for? You give 'em an axe and send them into battle first. Few few things beat drunk gnomes in battle. Perhaps drunk dwarves but that's about it. |

Drunk gnomes are perfect for answering the door when the annoying religious people come visiting. |

TC, when those types come calling, with their lack of imagination and humor, you could use a sober Gnome. Or a physicist. Or a dog. Maybe something virtual? |
