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.

Erwos, I agree completely. X is not that much of a problem. Armchair developers who are afraid to think that boo hoo, OSX has transparent windows and we don't need to look at things more closely.
150 is the size of the SOURCE. Are you confusing source size with binary size?
Also, the funny thing is, DirectFB screws the people with nVidia cards--you either have DirectFB, or hardware acceleration, which is fine if you're just trying DirectFB out, but gets MIGHTY annoying if you use it for your main system.
