I'm just there for the pictures, man. You have to set the filters to +2 to get above the static.

I was commenting that Linux needs some set of standards for a desktop. That's kind of tough, because there is such variety, and that's definitely a good thing. I think there needs to be some standard in the way the interface works for a desktop system. The system is going to need to be workable by someone who has just logged onto the Linux dekstop for the first time.

This isn't to say that other development shouldn't stop. In fact, the http://www.freedesktop.org/ site is devoted to providing some set of standards to allow interoperability between everyone, most notably, but not exclusively, Gnome and KDE.

This is just going to get better.
