Yara OSX 3

Hi fmiguel,

The English language is an odd mixture. The colonization by the Angles and Saxons had already established a Germanic base spoken by almost everyone in "Britain" --but not Scotland nor Wales-- when England (Anglo-land) was conquered by the Normans: (Northman=Norse=Scandinavians speaking "French" having previously conquered most of France). French, like Spanish, is rooted in Latin.

Conquest brings new rulers. Colonization brings a substantial new population.

Since the feudal overlords had to speak to the peasantry and vice-versa, what eventually emerged was a language that had dropped word endings (case and gender) and included some words with German and some words with Latin roots. About 60% of English words --the short ones-- have German ancestry. Most multi-syllablic words have Latin ancestry.

Consequently, English offers at least two words which probably correspond to the Spanish "retraso". One is "delayed", from "old French" and probably Latin: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=delay.

The other is "slow", from the German. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=slow, related to "sluggish" and the animal "sloth". Slow also can have the meaning "dull" (mentally), so probably comes closest to the Spanish "retraso".

I usually write "delayed" when I want to suggest some external hindrance; "slow" when I don't have such excuse.

Two things make English even more difficult.

By the time the Normans re-introduced the “Romance

You have some lovely web pages fmiguel. Yara for its size is great ... if you like Unity - personally I'm not so keen on it myself.

Had a quick look and ran well from a frugal installation. I like to have the hot spot for my Debian KDE desktop windows preview in the bottom left rather than top left where the main menu is as that helps reduce unwanted activation.

From the brief look I had I couldn't figure out if you could change the number of desktops?

Well done, a great pup you've provided.

Thanks for your reply, rufwoof. I take note. To change the number of workspaces, just type «ccsm» -without quotes- in a terminal and you will find the option in General options/Desktop size.
