Optimizing KDE 3.1.x

Some distros do. But one problem is the code that the GCC generates. Gentoo warns you to not use march=pentium4, and to use i686 instead, because pentium4 can cause bad code. I guess that older versions of GCC may have had the same problem for i686 at one point. Who knows...
I used HomeSite up to 5 I think, and liked it. Never thought it was too bloated, but I also never used its advanced features like project management. I wish that large-ish features you don't use could just be disabled. In opera 6, if you didn't use the email or IM client you could disable them from loading and hogging memory.

My experience with them has been the opposite. I subscribed for a year (it will be up in August or September I think).
*Their development cycle *is* slow, I agree.
*I initially had trouble running stuff 2.0 or 2.1 2.2 solved lots of problems for me. GTA3, Half-Life, all worked great. Deus Ex runs under great under 3.0pre1. Star Monkey does too. I can't wait to get home from work and try BF1942.
*I had trouble with a few games at first, but the FAQs solved usually solved the problem. If they didn't work I could always, *always* find an answer in the forums.
*The forums are a bit disorganized. I wish you could view them like the gentoo forums, and without all the extra side menus like the rest of the site has. Also, your complaint about not having per-distro instructions kind of stretching it, because WineX, for me, has worked the same on three distros (redhat, LFS, and gentoo). It *can* be work to get games going, but once you get it working you should be able to apply the knowledge anywhere (and you could post a guide to the forums if you want to help everyone else out).
Also, with paying comes voting. I like being able to vote on what gets done. (Don't like a game? Set it to -2, take that everquest!).
I don't feel ripped off at all. Maybe that's because I didn't have high expectations when I first subscribed:) , but I'm very satisfied with how WineX has progressed.
Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons that they want to squash information about security holes. Someone hears that a product has a hole, and they don't want to buy it. And these are the guys with the money and lawyers, and they'll go after anyone affecting their bottom line. Sad? Yes, but that's the way the world works (for now...mwuhahaha)
This is the kind of bug the developers would like to know about. Either file a bug report at opera.com or go to the opera.linux group on news.opera.no.
The only gripe I have with 7.0 is the inability to have the transfer window be separate from the rest of the hotlist. Other than that 7 is much, much better than 6.0. If you have lots of problems with it please file a bug report so the developers know.
If you hang around on opera.linux, the guys at opera have been posting about preview releases for awhile now. They're really nice about people's input and critcism (thanks Espen!)
It depends on how beta everything really is. If your FAVE_LINUX_DISTRO beta 3 doesn't crash, doesn't have security problems...why *not* use it in production? Besides, most of what we consider production tools like Apache, MySQL, etc. are updated fairly regularly anyway. If Mandrake 9.1 final has the same version of Apache as the betas, why not use it now?
...that it is just hardware that must conform to Windows Logo tests (I guess the old WHQL testing stuff). It talks about products that "connect to a Personal Computer and Notebook Computer" to be certified. So is this for software, or just hardware that currently comes sketchy drivers? It could still be a leverage against hardware vendors that ship Linux drivers, but we'll have to wait and see.
Hmmm. If you need a good shareware game for Windows, check out www.smallrockets.com. I found out about them from Penny Arcade, and they make a really nifty shooter called Star Monkey (and there's a sort of sequel called Ultra Assault). I'm not affiliated with small rockets blah blah blah.
I have two Linux-from-scratch systems, and I'm going to try Gentoo on a third, brand-new machine (my first machine that has never had Windows installed:)

Damn, I blew all modpoints earlier. Good thin-king though.

Thanks for the tip, I never even looked for it under Window -> Special, because I saw it on the hotlist :)

Normal size for someone with those specs, anyway. I love my 286!
