Gentoo & OS X
After trying to upgrade gnome on my iBook running gentoo, I found myself waiting a few hours for it to compile everything. And then, when reopening my session, nothing worked anymore (nautilus dying, applets dying, …). As the only other Linux PPC CD I have at home is a really out of date Debian (realize how old stuff is on this thing!), I found myself forced to reinstall Mac OS X to get work done.
Well, I’m quite happy I did this: at least it Just Works – and this Expose stuff is really nice!
Update: Ok, just kidding! Who fell for it ? ;-)

GNOME eh? Try KDE, and then disable about everything. :-)

Errr.. If Colin is like me, it won’t be easy to get rid of gnome! it is a very good way to arrange my terminals on screen ;)

Well, I don’t need any terminal anymore on OS X, so this problem is solved :)

Ha! I read somewhere someone complaining about GNOME’s terminals being excessive memory hogs compared to KDE’s terminals. And he is right, I’d never had any serious complaints with Konsole. (Well, not entirely true, the very first time I started it up, I got eyesore because of all the eye candy: toolbars, tabs, status bars, transparency; all of which I turned off immediately.)
And it’s much stabler, and also GTK2 programs integrate nicely if you use the QtCurve theme.

You mean you don’t use GNOME? :-)

hmm … I really use Expose (and a terminal) on Mac OS X.
Any contradiction around there … ?
Well, I am still working on etpanX.
I have to set up some repository one day.
