Galeon 1.0 Released

Posted by michael on from the faster-than-a-speeding-opera dept.

exceed writes: "Finally, after about a year, version one of Galeon -- the GTK+ web browser based on Mozilla's rendering engine, gecko -- has been released. If you plan on installing this for the first time, you might want to read the 'INSTALL' files included within the package for requirements. Head on over to the project's file list at Sourceforge."

    If Mozilla is also needed, it is because the galeon folks haven't got their shit together and produced their own RPM containing just the libs they need. This isn't hard to do.

    Can't argue that Galeon isn't better than plain ol' Mozilla from a usability standpoint...but...




    5. Gtk is prettier than Qt...no offense KDE folks, it just is, IMVHO.



    Really, I mean no offense, but...that's a pretty stupid reason for preferring GTK apps to QT apps. Really.



    6. Its a cool enough project that A) they jumped from 0.12.8 to 1.0 and B)the KDE-propagandist website, "Slashdot," actually saw need to mention it :)



    So undeniably false...if anything, /. has been such a GNOME fanboy site that they seem to jism as soon as a minor release of some GNOME app comes out. OOh, ooh, look, a GNOME knock-off of some KDE applet just came out! FP, baby!



    They've been less down on KDE now that QT is dual-licensed, though, and I realize that CmdrTaco talks good about Konq, which means that "smart" people are supposed to hate Konqueror now.
