KDE 2.2.2

loopkin writes: "Seems that the last KDE 2 is out. KDE 2.2.2 is faster and more stable and secure than 2.2.1, as stated in the Changelog. You will appreciate the trick that makes the icons load 5% faster in particular. Announcement is here. Please use mirrors for download, but original FTP is here. Note as well that maybe for the first time, there are _official_ RH packages for a _stable_ release (7.2)."

  1. Why why why? by evilviper · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    1. Why do people use KDE? It uses up more system resources than Windows 2000, uses the QT library which most programs do not (GTK+ is far more popular, even though it needs some work).
    2. Why does Slashdot need to report on software releases? I can understand reports on something that is technologically innovative, but this is just a new .dot release of a desktop... Whoohoo, we can load icons 5% faster, this is much more important than the fact that Stallman is trying to take over the world.
    3. Who gives a damn about what RedHat says is 'official'? The idea behind Open Source is to no longer depend on a central source, be it Microsloth or RedHat.
