Of the GUI diff tools available in the !Fedora yum repositories, I'm liking Diffuse Merge Tool the most; is intuitive. Pkg name: diffuse.
Have you tried meld? That's the one I switched to from tkdiff, which I used for many years.No, I didn't know about meld. Just now installed it and did a test drive. Seems to be one of the most robust diff/merge tools. Tnx for tip.2012-08-07T01:55:03+00:00 To: a(n) person, Public

Alsa, returned to XFCE on !Fedora 16. Gnome 3 nice, but a resource hog, and I never got used to flicking my wrist to get cursor to corner.Now that was a notable typo. I meant "Alas" as in "oh, well." But it was problems with ALSA that really helped the decision.
