[orca-list] Remaining in Gnome 2--was: Re: The Orca Wiki, ..., Open Solaris...

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

The extreme verbosity of MS Diggs and others may be infecting this unit 
as well.  LOL.

Does the Open Indiana community plan to remain with Gnome 2?  Which 
Gnome 2 do they ship in their current live dvd?  Do the instructions for 
getting a talking live session, found in the Open Solaris archives, 
apply to OI?  If I were to make the switch from Ubuntu, what would I 
gain?  What would I lose?


Cheers,


Dave  H.
