Comment Re:Fedora community effort (Score 1) 83

I started out with Gnome when i first discovered Linux in 1997. In my first job in 2000, my time was split between KDE, which i used at work, and Gnome, which i used at home. Soon after i switched to Fluxbox and never looked at anything else.

It's a shame what's happened to the Linux desktop. All that potential slowly going to waste, what with the "let's clone the windoze UI" and big egos and community squabbles and no sense of direction.

Similar experience. The year was 2000, i just got my first job and bought my first ever CD writer (a ~$200 Yamaha unit). After Adaptec Easy CD Creator wasted the 2 premium CD-Rs i got free with the drive, i booted up into Slackware and used cdrecord. Worked flawlessly. And it still does in 2012.
