Re: [TCLUG:4564] Updates gnome rpms

[Brady Hegberg <bradyh@bitstream.net>]

In my opinion KDE is the "Safe" new GUI while Gnome is the "Hot" new GUI.
At least it's the one I've thrown in my lot with.  Obviously there's a lot of
controversy about this but it seems like Gnome has (all license issues aside)
has a slightly better toolkit (GTK) and it has Redhat behind it.

I wouldn't mind seeing a mirror nearby - I often find myself having to 
download
files from Sweden.  (Isn't it ironic that I can often download a file faster
from ".se" than from ".umn.tc.edu"?  Considering the UofM is about 6
blocks from my house.)
