  1. PPC by BibelBiber · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hopefully PPC works as expected. It's a shame that this platform is so poorly supported.

  2. So.... by WindBourne · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With Linus now doing ALL of his work on the PPC, and that IBM is making a big move into Linux on PPC, do you think that it will see a massive investment in time? I do.

    I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
  3. Re:KDE 3.4 translations by kiwibird · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Users: learn English. Translators: keep translating.
    Not just because of the importance of keeping languages alive (which is a controversial and "feely" issue no matter what), but because there'll always be users who don't have that much comprehension of English (and it's better to have some understanding of a program than none), and it'll expand the Linux user base. All of M$' programs are translated into my native language, why should free software be behind there? And users of free programs have the choice of using the original languages, whereas users of say Office buy a version in just one language. Keep translating...
