What is the difference between the Client and GTK versions of emacs?
- by David
My Ubuntu 10.04 desktop has three versions of emacs:
emacs-snapshot (client)
emacs-snapshot (GTK)
GNU Emacs 23
I mostly use emacs-snapshot, but I also use regular emacs in terminal mode emacs -nw. However, it is not clear to me what the difference is between the client and GTK versions of emacs-snapshot is, which one is launched by emacs-snapshot at the terminal, and if I should uninstall one or just ignore it.
