GSB - A fresh GNOME Distribution for Slackware Linux

Submitted by Anonymous George on Fri, 2005-02-11 22:34. GNOME

GSB is a gnome distribution for Slackware Linux. This is the first release and packages are avaiable for GNOME-2.9.91. There is also an iso available to make installation easier. Since this is a GNOME pre-release there are bound to be bugs, but it seems to work fine so far.

This release was built and tested on Slackware-10.0. It should work on Slackware-10.1 but has not been tested as of yet.

For Download, Support and Contact information please see the website.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

Wrong. Evoultion dont *need* them. They are optional features. In fact, I've been compiling Evolution (up to version 2.1.4) since 2003 without those packages.
That's exactly what I dislike in most distributions - they insist that optional features are not optional, happily compiling in loads of unused and possibly bugged code. This is primaly couse of bloat and slowness.
