Wait a minute ... who said that (ms) IE is a major browser ? ;) +</I> +Firefox works great with GNOME since it's GTK based. I love GNOME, +Ubuntu is my main desktop distro with Mandriva being my work desktop, +and Firefox seems tailor made for GNOME. I'm not sure if its GTK (kind +of) base is the reason some KDE focused distros (Kubuntu, OpenSUSE, and +Linux Mint KDE) have a rough time getting Firefox to work perfectly +right "out-of-the-box". As long as everything works without me having +to configure it to work right I'm perfectly happy using FF as my default +browser. + +Also, yeah I hate that IE is a major browser too. Yet for some reason +60% - 70% of computer users choose it as their main browser. Sad but +true. :-( + +I'm really hoping Mageia focuses on both GNOME & KDE, but I could also +understand if the developers chose to focus on just one for stability +and speed reasons. Guess I just figured it was a KDE-centric distro +since Mandriva seemed to focus so much on it. + + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000951.html">[Mageia-dev] Talk of Browsers +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000977.html">[Mageia-dev] Talk of Browsers +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#967">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#967">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#967">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#967">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
