Today we feature a very interesting interview with Havoc Pennington. Havoc works for Red Hat, he is heading the desktop team, while he is well known also for his major contributions to GNOME, his GTK+ programming book, plus the freedesktop.org initiative which aims to standardize the X11 desktop environments. In the following interview we discuss about the changes inside Red Hat, Xouvert, freedesktop.org and Gnome's future, and how Linux, in general, is doing in the desktop market.

This isn't really a matter of the Linux/X developers having a choice. This all depends on the amount of cooperation OSS/FS developers get from video hardware manufacturers, since 3d acceleration is rather pitiful at this point. *Nothing* can be done without this cooperation.
