Indeed. Although in this case, I do in fact read the forums. ;) ( if you are talking about fedoraforum?).

I don't recall seeing any such bug.

As Adam notes, filing an actual bug is much more likely to get folks attention, but if you note your forum post I'd be happy to reply to you there too.

Not the case. Many people have GNOME/KDE/Xfce/LXDE installed. Simply select which you wish to use on login...

I can't imagine any case where this would happen.

Have you reported any bugs on it? Not against Fedora Xfce apparently, since I've never seen them (I'm one of the Fedora Xfce maintainers).

Just a few actual facts to note here:

a) This is currently just a proposed feature for the next Fedora release. It's been discussed some on the Fedora devel list, but thats it. It's not yet been discussed by the Fedora Engineering Steering Comittee or even answered all the questions presented by the list. So, nothing is sure yet here, it's just a few folks proposing it at this time.

b) The feature page is at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove
It had a lot more info and questions on it.

We will have to see how this plays out, it's way to early to tell, IMHO.

In this case the 'i386' refers to "the "i386" architecture" ie,

The 32bit rpms you may note are .i686 and will not run on 386, 486 or 586 processors.

M.U.L.E. Is Back 110

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 08, 2010 @04:04AM from the not-for-the-red-wings dept.

jmp_nyc writes "The developers at Turborilla have remade the 1983 classic game M.U.L.E. The game is free, and has slightly updated graphics, but more or less the same gameplay as the original version. As with the original game, up to four players can play against each other (or fewer than four with AI players taking the other spots). Unlike the original version, the four players can play against each other online. For those of you not familiar with M.U.L.E., it was one of the earliest economic simulation games, revolving around the colonization of the fictitious planet Irata (Atari spelled backwards). I have fond memories of spending what seemed like days at a time playing the game, as it's quite addictive, with the gameplay seeming simpler than it turns out to be. I'm sure I'm not the only Slashdotter who had a nasty M.U.L.E. addiction back in the day and would like a dose of nostalgia every now and then."
