thant's right, if you insalled SUSE, My bet is that you've only used KDE, not gnome, not XFCE, not enlightenment, or fluxbox. Sure there's not a whole lot of difference. It's designed to act the same and and be used the same by the sma e people. LInux has to have something like that or the general masses who hate change enough that they don't use firefox, will still use it. It's just the way it is, nothing snappy or cool. just the normal desktop, startmenu, etc. As far as Apps, there is much more "shareware available" that does so much more than any windows shareware I've ever seen, go search through freshmeat.net, and sourceforge. if you don't find something there that fits your needs, go see if it isn't already built it. Typically when ig et windows shareware, it's to add features the OS lacks. CSS editor? why not use vi, or emacs, or any other syntax hiliting editor? HTML? same deal. say you want to change your icons? do it. that's just a right click? wnat to rename a whole bunch of files? drop to commad line and do it with a for loop in 10- sec's. ou see, you don't have to write that muchg shareware for linux. It's all ready there, or download it online as a bash script. Linux isn't the desktop. and the desktop isn't linux. I like the fact that I'm using knoppix to write this becuase my linux distro died, the onl;y way I've ever seen and install die: my hard-drive crashed. So I have no NV storage at all. But this will run untill my cdrom warps. can't do much with knoppix, I beg to differ. I can do anything I want, execpt, well except stuff that uses my hard drive right now. it, uh, well that could be tough. But you get the point. Linux is about the OS being flexible and meeting any of my needs, not the other way around. |
