Re: SuSE and GNOME

[Nathan Clemons <nathan windsofstorm net>]

Part of the problem, I think, is that they put everything in /opt/gnome,
but they don't reference any of the /opt/gnome directories where it would
be helpful (like in the bashrc and csh.cshrc files, etc). Thus you have to
muck around and find a good place to insert it in the PATH declarations
(and their shell RC files are some of the worst that I have seen).

My girlfriend was happy with SuSE until she tried to work with GNOME.
She's now given away her SuSE sets for 6.0 and 6.1 and is running rather
happily with Mandrake 6.0.
