Re: Media: Another short comparisson bettween KDE and GNOME

["jack wallen, jr" <jlwallen iglou com>]

mabye i'll chime in here (and i'm really stretchin' it for the tie in) but
next month i'm spearheading/judging a 'best Linux Desktop' contest with
TechRepublic (the group i write for).  there will be a swell prize (yet to
be announced) and i sure would like to see some good gnome desktops!
you'll have to go to www.techrepublic.com to read the details in my
article (next month at some point).

i hope this wasn't breaking any ettiquette rules but i know that publicity
(good pub) is hard to get and this is one way for Gnome to get some killer
publicity!

just a thought
