    Yes KDE is better documented. And yes I have written windows code and KDE code. If all else fails I can look at the source in KDE. Windows is a MESS. MFC is a nightmare. Whole sections of the multimedia subsystem in windows just does now work as documented. TAPI is a total messs. And Yes I HAVE been paid to write windows code. About 10,000 people are using my code under windows right now. It works but it was UGLY.

  2. Enlightenment is Slow by iignotus · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This is great work and an interesting project, but Enlightenment is quite slow on my 750mHz p3, even to the point where the mouse falls behind when eyecandy is going off. Kde nor Gnome have these problems, even with SuperKaramba or GDekslets running.

      thats odd since it works great on my 550 p3.Perhaps the drivers for your videocard are lacking or if I may be so bold,your videocard is an underpowered dinosaur. Im running on an nvidia GF 5200 with 128 mb. The only odd thing Ive noticed about this live disk is the default keymapping doesnt seem to be default u.s.
      Runs smooth and fast for me.
