I understand that you're talking about programming, but I also like to show people that there are fully functional packages such as video editors (e.g. OpenShot) and image manipulators (e.g. GIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program). I like to do that to show that it's a one-stop shopping deal, that you don't have to flip back and forth depending on what activity a user has in mind. My memory is that GNOME and KDE both appear to possibly have another package or two that show that things can be extensively fun, "colorful", challenging (for lack of better descriptive words just this second).. Gwenview from maybe five years ago was coming to mind there. I just tested installing it before posting this. It's only 35MB these days. That's average for my installs. I remember Gwenview being more like 100 or so while dragging along things I just did NOT want to install. Either I already have its dependencies installed these days, or it has become more of a stand on its own kind of package. :) ANYWAY........... :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
