Does anyone knows the future of gmc ? i have not tried nautilus yet since it won't install on a potato system, but from what i have heard its bloated and slow and unlikely to be usable on anything but the fastest of hardware (a 166Mhz pentium with 96MB to be too slow if its slow even on a 600Mhz athlon?) i could be wrong and hope i am. that would be a very sad trend to see the gnome project emulate MS to this degree. as for gmc it was supposed to die, but if nautilus requires a massive hardware upgrade it may very well live on, unfortunatly... gmc is really a pile of crap it badly needs replacing by something usable. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
