This sort of remark is why I stopped posting in this thread, way to much bitchiness on here for a thread that is really only a bit of fun and should be a celebration of the diversity of linux, instead its become more like the fanboyesq threads you see on apple/windows/ubuntu forums.

● simple or plain, or minimalist desktops can be called cool

● compound or fancy, or immoderate desktops can be called hot

In such a context the opposition between „cool” and „hot” is neutral – none of these terms is not positive nor negative so there is no reason to struggle in a defense of one of them against the other one.

I agree, I think ( Scratches head and tries to work out all the double negatives )

- - - = + - = -

You made me laugh... I’m sorry. I’m from Poland. In Polish language such complex negations are quite usual.

W rzeczy samej

They are, indeed

@Keith Hedger

Polish language is simple and logical:

We say: „Don’t go to hell” when we want to say: „God bless you”.

We say: „I don’t say don’t go to hell” when we want to say: „Go to hell”.

We say: „Don’t think I don’t say don’t go to hell” when we want to say: „Definitely God bless you”.

We say: „Don’t even try to don’t think I don’t say don’t go to hell” when we want to say: „Definitely go to hell”.

Et cetera...

Direct „God bless you” is offensive because not all people believe in God – even in Poland. Indirect „Don’t go to hell” is proper because believers understand it as a blessing and non-believers understand it as the confirmation of their outlook (since there is no hell it isn’t possible to go to hell so the command „don’t go to hell” is sensible and feasible for non-believer).

You made me laugh so I tried to make you laugh. It was for fun. Don't suffer. Laugh.

Taken in fun ( it's a quote from monty python )

Slackware 13.37, xfce 4.8 pre-compiled packages taken from Vector Linux 7.0, tested okay.
Few minor glitches are there, trying to sort out. I like the old 2 panel gnome look still.
