XIMIAN OR WINDOWS
Kintaro:
Which do you think is better looking
WINDOWS....
OR XIMIAN. And if you havent seen Ximian (or windows)
HERE ARE THE SCREENSHOTS
Personally i think ximian is dead sexy...
A Special note:
This is a debate, but no bullshit.
Centurian:
Hey,
Here is a couple more Screenshots
They are off of my site at Dark Mares
Just gives you a few more to look at if you want.
Calum:
given the disposition of the site here, i doubt many people will post saying they like the look of the windows desktop better, except obviously goosedberry cock, and possibly zombie346723467 and bateleur who already kludged up these forums with huge screenshots rather than sensibly linking to them like you guys did.
Anyway, i take it that when my red hat 7.2 arrives it won't have this cuddly version of GNOME? will i have to download XIMIAN to use it or will it come with RH7.2?
It does look really good...
My needs in a desktop situation are basically total control with a minimum of frills.
A feature that i find sorely lacking in most desktops is tha ability to cycle the desktops at user defined intervals, from a directory (or directories in the case of multiple desktops) of the user's choice. Of course this may be commonplace now, as i have old software blah blah yadda yadda...
Also it would be nice to have control over the file associations right from the desktop, and i'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff too.
XIMIAN looks nice, but how does it perform?
i couldn't get my (old i know) version of enlightenment to even do the desktop cycling thing, would you believe...

It sorta does, i also have the Full Boxed Set of red-hat. And it come's with GNOME 1.4 but red-hat slightly modifyed the layout to look more traditional. You could customize it, but i just reinstalled.
On my website i am to get more and more and more screenshots. And i am also getting one of my favorite computers soon an "Apple Classic II"
I like the way they... work. They dont crash or
give me shit! Thats why i like apple, even if am poor and cont afford a good one. I like PC's because i can upgrade.
At my local lan party i asked people what Desktop they liked the best, most said GNOME. One of them said someone should port GNOME to windows.
But yes GNOME is clearly a nice desktop. Its only compitition is KDE. And Microsoft arn't in the race. But i will get a Screenshot of KDE there.

Nice background. I must say, Nice background. Mines always plain. But that was nice.
I might do one of my brothers PC in Gnome.
But its @ 1600x1200x32 mainly because its plugged
into a 60cm TV.
