mono cool aid
Geek
It is applications like all these and Beagle that make me seriously think about drinking the Mono and GTK# cool-aid.
I know the work RedHat and others are doing on GCJ is still in progress and that Eclipse runs compiled-to-native these days (that is a pretty big feat), but where are the killer Gnome applications written in Java, like the C# apps above?

I'm looking forward to seeing how the distros deal with including some of these applications. F-Spot, for example, will be a real asset to the linux desktop. It's pretty obvious that SuSE and the NLD will have all these goodies, but what about the rest of the gang?

Yeah, it should be interesting. I think RH will do what ever their customers are asking for. Sun won't ship any C# apps and probably not even Mono itself. Novell/SUSE is clearly going all-out C#, but I'd be suprised if they didn't ship a Java runtime of some sort - you need it at least for web browsers.
Which is always why I've prefered a community based disto such as Debian. They tend to be more bi-partisan than the commerical ones. F-Spot is already in the Debian archive, for example. Now if only GCJ and Classpath was a complete replacement for Sun's Java runtimes...

I don't know if anyone is reading these messages anymore, but read this:

(pretty stupid)
The worst thing of it all is that both Miguel and Nat have crearlly no ideea of what OSS is anymore and they screw up every chance they get.
And you fuckheads are stupid enough to follow them like fucking zombies.
