Process Improvements in the Kernel Development

Posted by Hemos on from the changing-the-process dept.

Kalki writes "In an e-mail to the Linux kernel mailing list, sent Saturday, Torvalds proposed that kernel developers begin certifying that the code that they contribute is entitled to be included in the Linux kernel as well as a technique for "signing off on patches" that would better track which developers had handled source code contributions. check this Infoworld story on it."

    Rubbish. GNOME wipes the floor with OSX? You're mad. KDE comes close, if set up right (i.e. if redhat haven't been anywhere near it), but GNOME????

    So true. I'm running KDE on Fedora Core 2 and it is simply a dog (1.2MHz uP). I don't know what RedHat has done to KDE, but the diference between it and KDE on other distros is stark!

    However, I have no idea which way to go from here. Buck up and learn to stomach Gnome? Find a distro that is more KDE-centric? Fedora still seems to be the best at supplying recent packages and easy server setup.
