No more GNOME in Slackware

Anonymous Coward writes "After long consideration, Pat Volkerding has removed GNOME from Slackware. Pat mentions in the -current ChangeLog that GNOME takes a lot of time to package, so this move should allow more time to be spent on the rest of Slackware." From the changelog: "Please do not incorrectly interpret any of this as a slight against GNOME itself, which (although it does usually need to be fixed and polished beyond the way it ships from upstream more so than, say, KDE or XFce) is a decent desktop choice."

WindowMaker: 1
GNOME: 0
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

GNOME
FOR
LIFE
GOD
DAMN
IT.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Good riddens.
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends.  There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Newby: If you can't take a joke, stop reading this post right now. You wouldn't love GNOME so much if you didn't have a garden gnome stuck up your ass. gg.

Past instances were I professed to like you were fraudulant.  I have had intimate relations with your wife or significant other.

Joey: If you can't take a joke, the preceding post should not have been read. :P
