Sam Varghese is a darn nice person I don't care what anybody says! <snip> > Is Gnome still present in Slackware?

The changelog for stable for Sat Mar 26 23:04:41 PST 2005 (which was current back then) noted the removal and provided some comment about the removal. I had noticed on slack lists that there was more and more references to Dropline Gnome on Slackware and I guess that since there were projects such as Dropline which uses PAM which Pat won't, and because Gnome: "need(s) to be fixed and polished beyond the way it ships from upstream more so than, say, KDE or XFce" "even the stable" releases usually aren't quite ready yet" If anyone wants to read the complete entry you can find it under the above date/time here: ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/ChangeLog.txt -- Cheers, Rick Miles Movement stopped is no movement, and rest set in motion is no rest.
