Who is not critical, it is better to KDE, it is more progressive, albeit heavy, but you can configure it. Gnome is faster but its ascetic scares me, but much better command line and MC. KDE the Best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Match1405241574 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) MC ? What is MC ? Memory Commitment ? Mine and Complementary ?"MC" - Midnight Commander - a file manager with a text interface, the type of Norton Commander for UNIX-like operating systems, as well as Microsoft Windows and Windows NT, OS / 2, Apple Mac OS X (but not Mac OS 9).Midnight Commander (GNU Midnight Commander) is part of GNU, and all developers have transferred their rights to a program of Free Software Foundation. As you do not know or do not understand from the fact that I wrote the MC, rather than as an mc at the command line?

What NC ported under Unix? agreed to write mc-Midnight Commander, NC-Norton Commander Do not use Norton, under Unix. I do not even know that there is a Norton for Unix, and in the ports did not notice it. Â Â Edited April 14, 2009 by Match (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Do not use Norton, under Unix.Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was talking about command line under Windows or under Ms-Dos for nc, and under Unix (AIX) for Firefox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akashi 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 I used Gnome for about 2 years in my Ubuntu. It has a nice view, and the best thing is, fully supported by Ubuntu Team.But then I heard some good things on Kubuntu (KDE type of Ubuntu). I installed it and I really love it. I also love the packages included in Kubuntu desktop.The problem is, I just feel that Ubuntu team gives more attention on Ubuntu development than Kubuntu or Xubuntu. I got a problem when I tried to install SKIM for Kubuntu though I didn't got the problem in Ubuntu. Also, it was a little unstable in the first time. Dunno why.For me, Kubuntu (KDE) has a slight (?) better performance than Ubuntu (Gnome), but also a little bit buggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 Gnome was first, being default. It's okay, the basic pre-installed options were good. I was happy with several combinations I could make in GUI in ten minutes. KDE was a lot worse, again only GUI in ten minutes, nothing good. I then tried Compiz on both and it made Gnome better, KDE worse. I ended up with XFCE + Compiz, which is dumb but pretty.Now unmodified Aqua (OSX) ftw. Never seen anything better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akashi 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 Hm, it seems you pretty hate KDE so much. What do you mean with worse and nothing good? I installed Kubuntu and i satisfied with it. I tried XFCE once. It was light, but i still prefer Gnome.(I wish i could try OSX too >_<......) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest newbies to use gnome and after getting familiar with linux shift to KDE.I'd still stick to KDE3 than going GNOME. KDE3 is less confusing and it runs really fast thanks to the QToolkit.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
