SVG And The Free Desktop (s)

Posted by timothy on from the lines-and-rules dept.

unmadindu writes "Christian Schaller has written an interesting article on SVG's current and possible uses on the GNU/Linux desktop. Though the article concentrates mostly on GNOME, it does mention the excellent work the KDE developers have been doing with KSVG, and refers to the upcoming SVG support in Mozilla too."

    He is a really smart and interesting guy. He does have a nasty habit of picking his nose and eating the booger thought. Pretty gross.

    FYI If you check the Third Floor Men's room 2nd stall from the left you will find a huge 16 inch turd I left there. I did not flush or use toilet paper so others can enjoy this gastrointestinal jewel. You may want to take photos or even go "spear fishing" and have a nibble of the chocolate treasure. Enjoy!

      holy shit! this dude wasn't kidding, and the fucking turd was jet-black. However, the asshole in janitorial flushed the toilet. Subsequently, the turd magically exploding into oblivion.

    Two years ago a friend of mine in New Orleans converted his employer to an all Linux/GNOME office running Open Office. The particular distro was Debian I think. It is about 40 users on a small network and they host their own website with BSD/Apache/PHP.

    A year ago another friend in Mobile, Alabama converted his office of 10 users to Linux/KDE. Again, running Open Office. Small network, just a file server running Linux as well. The distro was Redhat.

    I keep hearing tales of conversions all the time, each with (mostly) good results. The Gulf Coast isn't exactly a high-tech area, so I can only imagine that Linux desktops are being adopted (at least in the corporate world) at a better pace than I originally believed. Anyone from more...er..."modern" areas care to back that up or refute it?
