    You can get them from gnutella. The only big feature change I've seen so far is that 'df' now supports the '-h' switch.

    I recently picked up a sparc station 5, and have been messing around. I find that under linux and solaris, disk performance is horrible. I have tried 3 differant drives, 50 pin and sca, and after running hdparm -tT, I never get a transfer rate over 4 megs/sec? How can I speed this up?

    well, as the author of KC KDE i can tell you that no such thing was ever in any issue of KC KDE.

    besides, KDE already runs on Solaris. oh, and Sun would only need to pay Qt if they wrote closed source applications.

    troll. *sigh*

    I've said it once and I'll say it again. PuTTY Rules. I still have yet to see a UNIX Desktop that can combine elegance, cleanliness, and functionality. They are either to damn simple, or too damn bloated/slow. Give me a Windows desktop with a nice big monitor, like those LGE 22" Widescreen LCD (the PC version of the Apple 22" LCD).

    Right now I have a 21 inch flatscreen CRT with a 1600x1200 resolution with about 13 putty sessions open. It runs Windows2K and I get an OS where I can run almost any sofytware I want.

    Keep in mind this is MY OPINION. Don't flame me for liking it this way. I never said that anybody else was stupid or useless for liking any of the UNIX desktops.
