Well, first, thanks to all the users' proposed solutions. I'll have a look at the theme's repositories. Now, just a bit of clarification :)
You criticize the bloating and at the same time you want a fully featured desktop environment, and working out of the box. All has a price my friend.
Didn't said such a thing about a fully featured desktop. I was just looking for the icons :)
For example, just reading your message I see you ignore how to use a text editor and the correct way to send an email.
You shouldn't be so sure of yourself. It may help you in your life.
I use FVWM, that is not included in Crux, but it's not a problem for me since downloading it form FVWM site and compiling it take less than a minute. Got the idea?
Don't worry for me, I was compiling kernels at a time when most people didn't even knew Internet existed (and maybe you weren't even born. Do you remember what an Alpha or a Sparc were ?), so yeah, i got the idea... As i'm getting older, i'm probably getting lazier too :) When you endorse a distribution, the right way is to try to capture and follow the philosophy behind it. That's why i first tried CRUX ports and not the good old way (compile world myself). I now you said you didn't wanted to be rude, but in fact, you were. Your approach is not the right one to welcome a new user, especially when you don't know anything about him. I'm used to this kind of behavior from more and more people in the *nix communities, especially the younger ones, so it doesn't matter for me, but imagine if i was a poor another_os user looking for some alternative... Linux deserves better. Regards, Jideel _______________________________________________ CRUX mailing list CRUX@lists.crux.nu http://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux
