I can speak about this since I am a biologist familiar with this research, I suspect like a scientist Dawkens will demonstrate that when his viewpoints are challenged by new evidence, he must adopt new ways of viewing the world that are consistent with the available evidence. A lesson theists would do well learning. In other news, I am not familiar with this research, nor a biologist, I just made a false appeal to authority because it made my statements sound more insightful. (A lesson I have learned studying theists.)

Debian Changes Default Desktop From GNOME To XFCE 328

Posted by Unknown Lamer on Wednesday August 08, 2012 @11:53AM from the cool-kids-still-use-windowmaker dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The default desktop within Debian 7.0 'Wheezy' has changed from GNOME to Xfce. GNOME, KDE, and LXDE will continue to be available, but the decision was made to default to Xfce. The reported reasoning comes down to size constraints in fitting GNOME on a single CD."
