KDE Success in the Enterprise

Arandir writes "Is UNIX ready for the desktop? Display Works Inc. thinks it is! They adopted KDE as their official desktop environment over a year ago, and KDE::Enterprise is running an interview with IT manager Tim Brodie over their experiences. This is a very good interview that covers why KDE was chosen, user migration, and wish lists for KDE. Quote: "I now see KDE taking the lead in polish and professionalism on the desktop"."

Yep. The new apps "KPolarityReverse and KSensorArrayMod" are awesome.

Oh, crap. I gotta go. I have a runaway "KNanite" process.

Yeah, those apps are nice. However, my KEjectWarpCore always seems to crash when I need it most (although it appears to be running fine when not being used). Has anyone else experienced this problem in their enterprise?

Yeah. Upgrade to KPlotDevice 2.2a and you'll be fine.

No small feet, that.

No, the small feet would be left to GNOME.

Where can I buy the abridged version of this post? Thanks

Re:Ehh

[prockcore]

Yes its nice to see a success story but do we really need to get a story on every KDE/GNOME deploment in the universe ?

This just in.. I've just deployed GNOME on my laptop. I can't say how much money it has saved me, accounting is still working on the numbers. Upper management (my wife) is still resistant to converting the entire household.. but we're making progress.

Further bulletins as events unfold.

Only three good things in computing nowdays

[oosid]

1. KDE 2. BSD 3. OS X ...oh wait. That's only two.

fantastic work

They're not "idiots". They're customers. And let me guess, you're unemployed, aren't you?

Re:Better than windows

[bogie]

Yes but can you make linux lock you out of your computer because you haven't activated it yet?

Saying you can do X task with Windows is missing the point. The bottom for most linux users is they get to avoid having to use Windows in the first place.
