Or > my FreeBSD laptop... ;-) If anything, the fact that most distributions currently ship with their own, "proprietary" (for various definitions of proprietary) administration tools should be one *more* reason to include GST in the GNOME Desktop. While distributions are free to brand their desktops however they like, there really should be a "GNOME Standard" way to do system configuration tasks. I don't know if GST is yet ready to be included, but when it is, I think it should be included. -- Shahms E. King <shahms shahms com>
