Hackers on Linux's Exciting Desktop Future
Gentu writes "OSNews features two interviews with prominent open source developers: Robert Love started working at Ximian this week and he will be leading the 'effort to improve the Linux desktop experience via kernel development'. In this Q&A, he explains what he will be working on hardware integration, freedesktop.org's D-BUS & HAL, low latency optimizations, power management, X & 3D and a 'Linux answer to WinFS'. The second interview is with Red Hat's Owen Taylor. Owen speaks of GTK+ development and where he sees the project going in the Gnome 3 timeframe: freedesktop.org's new X server, Cairo support, GTK#, OpenGL & other widgets and more."

Regardless of what they do.... There is one thing for certain. Debian will still be the worst distro on the planet.
As soon as this post is read it will be modded down because the truth hurts and Slashdot is full of blind Debian zealots.
Debian is as dead as the 2.2 kernel.
Alcohol plays a role in 85% of rapes, 35% of violent assaults (85% domestic, 65% against children). The anti-drug FUD was paid for by the alcohol industry and the privately held 'corrections' institutions. These industries were the strongest influence in punishment for marijuana related offences.
There is enough marijuana smokers out there to positively say it's use does not represent the loss of control when compared to the use of alcohol. The health risks are less then smoking and far far less then drinking. The mental and emotional damage is about equal (perhaps a little less) then watching, following and believing in "beauty enhancements" (and almost as obnoxious).
Remember, nine out of ten cops say they'd rather deal with somebody who smoked to much weed then deal with somebody who drank too much alcohol.

And merry christmas you morons, bastards, bitches, shrubs and all that.
Closed source software allows the creator of the software to choose who they open the source to. Open sores software is more like a virus to your rights as a software creator, because you can never take back what the GPL gives away.
Closed source software actually makes money for people, while everbody (90%+) who develops open sores software is still crossing their fingers, hoping to make money doing what they love.
Closed source software is built by people who are serious about software development, who's very living depend on it. Open sores developers are usually doing it "for fun" or something. Do you really want to depend on that?
Umm, basically open sores sucks so don't waste your time with it (unless of course you need to steal some source code or ideas for your closed software project and then patent it ;)
P.S. The founding fathers were not trying to build a socialistic society where things like "choice" are unheard of.
Fuck off cunt face.
More like any uniprocessor system that isn't overclocked to > 4ghz and doesn't have a monstrous 256M video card with 2GB of RAM to spare.
You're a dumbfuck. Modern desktops running on X are slow as fuck with mostly any desktop system. If you don't agree, you're some zealot who doesn't touch Windows enough at all to even realize this.
Dirty motherfuckers.
I have been trolled by your existence. I will have a nice day, okay, thanks.
Does anyone care what the users want? I use KDE like the vast majority of Linux users. I don't want to have Gnome forced onto me. Why don't just accept that the users out there have made a dicision and respect their joice?
Damn you, Roydd. Should've known you were signed in on my computer.
