If there is please tell me so that I don't bug everyone on this list with pointless questions about upgrading the X interface so that it accepts PDF protocols for it's rendering capabilities. OR about adding a common installation program for easier manipulation of apps based upon a standard X format. That all desktops could use for the installation of their programs. OR about working on a common interface that allowed experienced users the full power of the UNIX api, and could introduce new users to an easy to use OS. IS there any reason why this can't be done given the abilities of the Open Source community in reference to Gnome/KDE? And if you want to know why I wrote to this mailing list it's because YOU are the maintainers of the SYSTEM upon which our standard interface will be run. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
