The people who read the +ML and register in the forums should have a louder voice than those that do +not participate in the linux community.

Gnome is the preferred desktop, or LXFCE, although I do use +a lighter DE, especially when a preferred one is too heavy for my rig. +I'd like to see something like Mandriva with a choice of KDE and Gnome for +live CDs I suspect that KDE would be picked by newbies as the most +Windows-like, but it would be nice to have Gnome as well. + +Lesley Lawless + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="004046.html">[Mageia-discuss] Aliaj lingvoj por Mageia Torrent File +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="004050.html">[Mageia-discuss] Poll: Which Desktop Environment will you be using on Mageia? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#4049">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#4049">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#4049">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#4049">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
