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.

"3D desktops don't need 3d hardware. Remember folks, we played Doom on 486 DX2/33s..."
Yeah, and Doom was 2D. Doom used sprites.
I agree that Linux should be an serious option to developing nations and their citizens, but at the same time it needs to keep up with the competition. You can't run OpenOffice, Mozilla or GNOME on a machine under 600MHz that comfortably, anyway. Yet, IceWM, Siag Office and DIllo or Links-Graphic will always be there for below that mark.
