Posted by Hemos on from the more-fun-with-graphical-displays dept.

A reader writes: "Berlin ? testing packages for Debian are available from the Debian website and should soon be moved to unstable, according to their the Berlin consortium website." The Berlin website (which looks great, IMHO) has an excellent architecture FAQ - the Berlin vs. X is very well done.Update: 09/01 12:41 PM GMT by H : A number of people have e-mailed me about some....wonkiness...if you view the Berlin vs X page using Internet Explorer. I'd advise using something else.

  2. Port QT and GTK to Berlin! by chrysalis · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    QT and GTK can already work without X (frame-buffer) . So it may be worth trying to port them to the Berlin architecture too.

    Berlin is an excellent framework. But an excellent framework is totally useless without any application.

    If QT and GTK were ported, there would be a lot of applications already ready for it. Basically, all Gnome and KDE apps could run on it, and X-Window could be dropped.
