[CLUG] Re: [ILUG] that Gnome thing again.

What about the part where they acknowledge that Gnome isn't an OS?

"Much infighting marks the Linux world. For instance, Gnome is competing
with KDE (K Desktop Environment)
for dominance among Linux desktop interfaces with both bodies aiming to make
the underlying operating
system more user-friendly."

I dont think this article is trying to suggest that Gnome itself is going to
be competition to Windows.
