On my dual PIII running FreeBSD from 4.0 to 4.6.2 (and current) Gnome1 has never been near stable. In fact KDE has never been stable so Gnome2 is the first stable desktop environment on this machine. That said it's not flawless - SCSI devices doesn't work with gnome applications (ie. gnome-cd). I don't find this a stupid question. I think it's rather nice that somebody considers the consequences of changing a port like this. Seeing what happened with mozilla (calling 1.1 devel) I find his question REALLY nice. I would prefer if Gnome-2.1 is either -devel or not in the ports tree at all. Sven To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
