To EricNeon:
Thumb up!! Only afraid that you have to prove your knowledge about gnome before them can make you joining. Anyway you can give some suggestion at least.
To Rerven:
Have you looked sticked post? Bixian and some good guys provide it long long ago.
to Reven:
基本系统不应该包含任何多余的东西,可能你比较喜欢gnome,但是还有更多的人也许喜欢KDE、fvwm、xfce……甚至高手根本就不用X。
我喜欢arch的原因之一也是因为arch和debian一样提供了很好的扩展空间,允许我自己install
from scratch。哪怕是一个gnome,我也从来不是一个简单#pacman -S gnome 来安装的。
