[SLUG] Re: Linux UI decision

["hav" <havorama@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the responses - I dare say I have shown my ignorance,
however it is a steep learning curve, moving from dos/windows.  A
couple more questions from your responses: what is the gnome/gtk+
relationship?  I use kde, but my interesest is piqued due to the
article on Englightenment - that is E17 yeah?  Oh - do you intertwine
your additions to E17 with a day job?  That to me would be a dream job,
having been a visual c developer for so long and just spent a year.5
back studying - I can't imagine trying to port a Qt project to mfc or
the like. Ych!  That would be more than 10% in porting I can tell you!
Still, its not that dissimilar.  This leads to another question: about
the not referring to "desktop shell" anymore - how is E17 different to
other window managers - I read an article in Linux User I think, but I
forget, and now I can't imagine, unless it does not adopt a traditional
process/kernel model - I would like to see a linux microkernel
architecture, that would get the porting down to 2%!
Cheers
