Re: very sad.... No more....
My experience with Nautilus is that it crashes my Libranet system. Therefore
I consider it a flop. As for extended lines, I can't say as I have my
preferences set in Netscape mail for 64 characters. I notice too that my
messages don't appear as typed. That I will blame on some deficiency in
software for Linux . My guess is that Eazel offered the excuse that they
closed due to bad business practice, failing to mention that one of the bad
practices was developing a product that really wasn't very good. I know I
tried Nautilus on this particular system and didn't care for it at all. While
I'm an obvious fan of GUI's, I felt Nautilus was reminiscent of the "M$"
bloatware features I don't like. Basically I prefer simplicity, and a CLI is
simple. But I don't find a CLI easy to use; as a reference book, more often
than not, is a requirement. Long ago, I had a student who pointed out that
the problem with computers is that they come with a book. At least Libranet's
got that part taken care of. Their installation and operations manual is as
simple as it can get.
