Well, the changes I remind:<br><br>- gnome-screensaver -> xscreensaver: doesn't make much difference <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- file-roller -> squeeze: squeeze is fast, light, seems to have most<br>features needed for an archive manager. It's stable, upstream answers<br>quickly to bug reports and features requests. There is a crasher In<br>
Hardy (doesn't happen in Gutsy with the same version) but work is in<br>progress to fix it.</blockquote><div><br>If Squeeze is stable that's really cool. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- gthumb/or whatever was before -> ristretto: ristretto is fast, light<br>and stable, same maintainer as squeeze and same postive feedback.</blockquote><div><br>Sounds cool enough. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- gnome-mount -> exo-mount: we just loose one feature, encrypted<br>partitions, but it's not really a key feature. This change makes it<br>relally easy to follow debian and upstream changes.</blockquote><div><br>Sounds fine too. <br>
</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">- totem -> * : this hasn't been decided yet, maybe mplayer-gtk or keep gnome.</blockquote>
<div><br>Note that mplayer cannot be shipped due to licensing issues. I'd at least change totem-xine to totem-gstreamer as xubuntu-desktop now conflicts with ubuntu-desktop (as was discussed on this list before).<br></div>
<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've a P2 450MHz and I can tell you I really feel the difference on<br>disk usage, memory and cpu usage ! The last annoying application is<br>
Firefox 2 but Firefox 3 should be released on time and should be<br>really better.</blockquote></div>Yeah, I'm also eagerly awaiting 3. It's good that they're working on a mobile version, so that they finally take on those performance issues. Of course, Epiphany is also an option, but I suppose that wouldn't be appreciated by many (right?).<br>
