I don't like Ubuntu, but I do like 64 Studio and they unfortunately changed from Debian to Ubuntu. Anyway, Ubuntu seems to be the most used distro, so it would be smart to take care of unexperienced users. I don't ask the Ubuntu folks, but I bet that they would say, that it's not their job, Ubuntu ships with GNOME and not e17. > e puts those .desktop files there for its filemanager. they are > shortcuts/links > to devices and/or bits of the filesystem. yes - nautilus will show them and > display them oddly. to be honest, this doesn't bother us, because you are > expected to be using e, not nautilus. :) > An Advantage of Linux is that you can have several WMs/ DEs for your installation, to fit the DE/ WM to your needs. One day you need a DE that comes with a lot of right click service menus because of video work, the other day you need a lightweight DE because of real-time audio work. If one DE is expecting to be the only DE, resp. not taking care about other DEs for the same Linux installation, it's not consonant to the idea of Linux or even FLOSS. It's invalid to expect users only to use one DE or one application for special needs. Linux is designed to be customizable and it should become customizable for any user, not only for a handful of computer nerds.
