Well, so now the way users of Windows normally navigate in their system is called the "spatial way". Here is a great article which explains the spatial navigation in the new Gnome (available in Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 3). http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/spatial-nautilus.html " Much has been said, and been discussed about "spatial views". Ever since the GNOME hackers decided that Nautilus, the file manager in GNOME, would sport a spatial way of working by default, the word "spatial" has been in just about every other mailing list or review of the desktop environment. Note that I don't claim to be a usability expert, but I'd like to point out the vast resources on spatial usage, as well as show how GNOME 2.6 actually makes you more productive. My base system is Fedora Core 2, with GNOME 2.6.0 (so screenshots come by default, with the BlueCurve theme). " - Sandip P.S. I recently shifted from KDE to Gnome. So that explains my new found interest in Gnome/Evolution. :) -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * sandip-/[email protected] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home: http://www.sandipb.net PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 Planet Claire has pink hair.
