Re: Ximian Gnome on Woody?
I used to use Ximian's gnome. However, using sid's gnome I don't see
much difference b/w what I have and what they have. I think the Control
Center is a little bit different (but big deal, same functionality) and
the only thing that I saw on a ximian'ized redhat box that I didn't have
was that battstatt applet (which is nicer than the default gnome one)
which I packaged up, and I believe is available at
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~spotter/debian/
I'd assume that if there are other things missing here and there people
would more more than willing to package them up. It makes life much
easier to get a major package like gnome directly from debian (i.e. if
you ever want to install something that depends on gnome that ximian
doesn't package you could run into some major conflicts)
