demonstrating GNOME/E in the event - second though



Hi,

Yesterday I finally got around to overwrite my experimental Suse 5.3
partition at work with RedHat 5.2 (it feels much faster) and took
this opportunity to install Gnome 0.99.7.

Although it's VERY nice and pretty fast, I got Enlightment stuck
pretty quickly.

I don't know how much of this is Gnome's fault or E (Gnome forced me
to kill WindowMaker when I run gnome-session), but I'd like to add a
word of precaution for those who intend to demo it in the linux event
- please make sure it(*) really works as expected and stable as a rock,
any mishap will leave a very bad taste for people who see Linux for
the first time.

(*) "it" actually reffers to the entire machine and any piece of
software on it, not just Gnome/E.

Cheers,
