Re: [TCLUG:628] Linux in the StarTribune

[Ben Kochie <ben@intexp.com>]

i agree, look at the GNOME project, it's GTK license is a little bit
better than the Qt one.  and i disagree with the "Apple is the real
innovator" yes.. they had a nice interface.. keyword "had" even the new
advanced 8.1 interface is no improvement over the 6.x interface.. sure,
you get multiple file copies, but you still don't get a good application
switching system, even the win95 task bar is better.  the best interface
i've been able to find yet is AfterStep. (1.5 is really nice, tho more
dificult to config so far)
