1. Ok, that's interesting. 2. Um...do you REALLY want icons for every possible application preinstalled? Isn't apps on demand the whole point of package managers? 3. um....um... 4. Fluxbox, XFCE, Windowmaker, *box, ....... 5. That's all kernel/udev/window manager interaction. I have my desktop setup to pop up a message box when udev automounts a disk. My laptop (xfce) shows the icons on the desktop when one plugs in. dmesg usually works for me to see if what I've plugged in was seen. hehe. I see his point on this though. |

This editorial was a waste of electrons. |

OK. Let's see. 3. Doesn't everyone know about Crossover by now? http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxlinux/ 4. He obviously has a very limited Idea of what's already available. Tchiem2's list just scratches the surface. 5. Huh? Slackware's automounted removable media since at least 12.0. And it's not known as a "user friendly" distro. Most of the recent distro's I've tried do exactly what he wants. He says he's using CentOS, which is a RHEL clone, so maybe it doesn't? |

I was wondering what pre 2000 distro he's using |

" what pre 2000 distro..." The problem being that #3 (if I remember correctly), the "windows look" was far, far less prevalent at that time than now. Don't forget OLWM, TWM, WindowLab... Sheesh, it's like he's never actually looked under the hood. |

The "Windows look" was primitive, utilitarian, and (for me, at least) very un-aesthetic. Macintosh thought they were upping the ante with OS X, but all 3 of Enlightenment, GNOME, and KDE were years ahead on having truly pleasant look-and-feel options, even in 2000. (Not to slight FVWM and various other WM's out there...) |
