Eclipse question

[Arjay]

Hi ppl just a quick question,

I'm about to download eclipse for Slackware and i'm unsure of which to download, one is Linux (x86/Motif) and the other is Linux (x86/GTK 2). Is there a difference between these two...i'm not sure what motif is, but have heard of GTK.

Thanks in advance :-)

motif is an old-school widget set.
if you want the app to take on your Gtk theme then get the gtk one.
if you want ugly looking old-school widgets then get the motif one :)

Cheers Hayl,

I'll go and download it now.

Thanks again.

Ugly? Old-school?

I like Motif!
It's a quaintly-comfortable sort of ugly, ok?

I'll just ignore the 'old-school' remark for now; but, if you ever get within range of my cane, it's all over for ya! ;)
