Can someone PLEASE FUCKING STANDARDIZE this? Thanks.
Ya know, you are trying to get "first post" so hard you cant spell, and if you are not clicking on the "download" link as fast as your finger can move, what in the heck are you doing on this post anyways? - Just a little rant against newbs who love to "post first"
No I didnt spell check this post...
All I really want is a garden KDE.
You bigot! ;-)
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!

GNOME is a word that was created when some people took the first letters of a bunch of words and put them together.
Trader Joe's Mushroom Medley is a unique mixture of four kinds of mushrooms, sliced, quick frozen and ready to sauté, with it's own packet of black bean seasoning. It cooks quickly and can be served over rice or noodles, in stir fry, as stuffing, or with steaks and omelettes.

Yeah, those damn newbies....
Also, there will be a kde 2.2.2 release soon, check http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde- 2.2.2-release-plan.html
thank god for that....I know there are few bugs in KDE 2.2.1 but the ones that are left are anoying. I use Gaim and the notifications get delayed in aRTs for about 1-2 minutes, even when I am using the KDE sounds!!!
system notifications work fine, but any program that uses notifiers gets delayed. they realy need to fix this before moving into 3.0

The Ouija board has been used by thousands of people for spirit communication and is very similar to automatic writing, the only difference between the two being the absence of the board itself in automatic writing. Both forms of communication are very dangerous; as are seances, because they are usually uncontrolled forms of communications. In other words, the individuals that use these channels are usually novices and are unaware of the possible dangers that await!
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community whn last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in th recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
*BSD is dying
