    There, that was easy. I have the E60 and it is amazing.


    By the way, Jobs lied during the keynote when he says it is the first phone with a fully usable web browser, both the phones above use the Nokia browser that is based on the same WebKit as Safari on the iPhone.

  7. Re:I use a Linux server... on Server Makers Push Linux · · Score: 1

    This is just silly. Debian was very late recently on security updates because of changes in their security personnel. Mandriva has a great track record for keeping their distribution up to date. They have updates out right with all the major distros on the day they are released.

    By the way, all Linux distributions running the same versions of software are going to be vulnerable to the same attacks. RPM based has nothing to do with it.

    Please keep your packaging FUD to yourself.

    Lucky for you one of the window managers that does this is also one of the most popular.

    KDM does this perfectly, in fact all the focusing complaints I have seen in this thread are handled by KDM exactly how people are dreaming they would be implemented.

    I bet all the people complaining are running "light" windows managers and they wonder why they don't have all the features they are pining for.

    Well let's see, I installed Mandrakelinux 10.1, then installed the DeCSS libraries frpm plf that are a requirement thanks to the MPAA, then I had full 5.1 surround sound on all DVD movies I have played.

    For instance, I'm on a broadband connection, and dont have a dialup modem, so what use is kPPP?

    This depends on your distribution really. I know that in Mandrake 9.2 they seperated out all the kde programs so that you only install the applications that you want. So no kppp on my cable internet connected only machine.
    Like so:
    kdenetwork-common-3.1.3-37mdk
    kdenetwork-kdict-3.1.3-37mdk
    kdenetwork-kget-3.1.3-37mdk
    kdenetwork-kmail-3.1.3-37mdk
    kdenetwork-knode-3.1.3-37mdk
    kdenetwork-krfb-3.1.3-37mdk
    kdenetwork-ksirc-3.1.3-37mdk

    To me KDE has always seemed a bit more cluttered, and Gnome more minimialistic.

    Dunno what you mean by this, my desktop is not cluttered.
