RE: Diff between Helix/Debian GNOME (was Re: Helix debian package s)
Hmmm. Your message looks like Helix marketing campain for Debian people.
I can agree with only one point with small exception.
Helix team spends a lot of time "testing, enhancing, and improving
the desktop, and making Helix GNOME work well on as many operating systems
as possible" but *mainly* for RH.
I used Helix GNOME and I have no idea what does it mean "enhancing" and
"improving" in case of Helix debian packages.
Event after an analyzying changelogs.
Sure, two pictures are nicer and more icons.
If you look in the current GNOME packages in woody you can understand that
time is *not* problem actually.
Cheers,
Mariusz
