   Regarding the GUI, if the Linux community hates Windows so much and wants    
   Linux to be "that" Desktop replacement... at least come together and have a    
   GUI that doesn't need the user to do command-line stuff beyond the surface.

   I would love to compile D'Bridge for more modern Os's, however it is very    
   difficult for me to do so. It takes time; and having to really tear apart a    
   lot of things and replace them with modern equivalents.
