admin-space: clean, no fluff, no extraneous apps, direct, and to the point

user-space: hold their hands and baby them??

straddling "user space" and "admin space", working to make a [Linux? BSD?] distro that works clean and perfect in both ways/spaces .. release-mangement, to start with .. need something for tracking projects and "requirements specifications" and proceeding from the latter to a finished product .. need tests, based on the requirments specs, beng run at every branch (and even every checkin) along the way

need to learn how to write an LDAP schema first?? what the heck is that about?

And then, there's QNX, but the set of Linux and BSD seems like a heck of a lot more open of a market, in "business terms".

gnome2 [user-space]

Just upgraded to Debian sid, this week; Gnome version 2.2 came with it.

There's not much to say about it, for the record; it's still in development.

It does look like they're chasing KDE and/or Mac-Aqua.

A warning about nautilus: if you've never ran it before, expect a very KDE-like desktop to appear on your root window, when you start it; expect your window-manager's menus to not be activated by any sort of clicking on that desktop; expect some of the desktop icons to be non-removable; expect some hassle, in restoring your desktop to its original state
