  1. GNOME sucks on GNOME 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    but KDE swallows.

  2. nice troll :) on GNOME 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    haha! soon this will be the first /. article to break 1000 comments...

  3. Gnome is for sysadmins - not home users on GNOME 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That's ridiculous. The GNOME agenda is to provide a quality, customizable, completely open-source desktop project. KDE is not only inherently less customizable, it is less flexible because of their choice of c++.

  4. Unneed dependencies == bad design on GNOME 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That's absurd. KDE uses as many libraries as GNOME, and it's not nearly as fully-featured -- it is just what happens when someone crosses OpenLook with Win98. :)

    Why should the authors of GNOME re-invent the wheel? The authors of KDE were so bent on using C++ that they created software which violated the GPL, just because the libraries (Qt) were available.

  5. Sound in 2.2.1 on Linux 2.2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    sndconfig is broken in 2.2.x for SB cards because the module expects different arguments than it did in 2.0.x

    I have already run isapnp and modprobe -- isapnp works, but modprobe fails with "device or resource busy".

  6. Sound in 2.2.1 on Linux 2.2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm running a SB16 PnP which worked fine under 2.0.36, but which doesn't work under 2.2.1. I get the fabled "device or resource busy" when initializing the sb module (it's choking on the DMA address). Has anyone had any luck with a similar setup? Is this fixed in 2.2?

  8. RE: Okay, this is annoying. on X11Amp v0.9 Source Released · · Score: 1

    If you install GNOME 0.99.3 over RH 5.2, you'll have the right versions.

  9. x11amp 0.9 on X11Amp v0.9 Source Released · · Score: 1

    wow, I found about this BEFORE reading it on slashdot...heh.

    The new version uses mpg123, and skips a little more. It seems a bit flakier, but it actually has a *lot* of new features. (feature set -- not just l&f -- reminds me of winamp on my girlfriend's computer)


    cheers,

  10. I have the domain name solution! on InterNIC to face competition. · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but your "solution" would break the distinction between IPs and domain names, which is only enforced by -- you guessed it -- the registrar. If I had an IP address 123.69.42.37, under your scheme, I could register "123.69.42.38" as a domain name for it, and no TCP/IP program would know better...


  11. mess on InterNIC to face competition. · · Score: 1

    How are they planning to coordinate these five companies?

    Sounds like they'll still need one central server...



  12. Installing over RH 5.2 on Linux 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Hey, has anyone had any serious touuble with the new kernel in a stock RH 5.2 system?

    (I'm trying to decide if I have enough free time to upgrade today...heh.)


    Thanks,
