Probably, but I still believe it is a good change anyway. People are to harsh on david though, they have forgotten how big an improvement XFree86 4.x actually was.
His current vision just didn't fit with X.org developers needs. So they forked, big deal..
glib does not depend on anything but standard C (glibc). Copy & Paste gives you this: GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
Their gnome handling is quite nice too. Although i prefer the gnome default over the mandrake default, mainly because of panel setup.. but that is so easy to change.
GTK is not 100% comparable to QT. GTK is a gui toolkit, QT is much much more. It's a complete framework in c++.
Then there is other glib based projects, but seperate from gtk, that implement stuff that exists in qt so they end up with pretty much the same features. Ie, gnome-db (the libgda part)
A great thing about abiword, is that they are doing support for other OS's the right way. Every platform has their own UI implementation, the win32 UI has nothing in common with the GTK UI. Because of this, abiword provides far better integration into the UI of the respective platform, instead of being a weird crossapp like openoffice/mozilla, that doesn't really fit in anywhere.
Well, i havent seen anybody actually trying hide the complexity of rpm/deb. If fact microsofts MSI is albeit different, a similar idea (a big db of dependency info). The difference is that the user isn't shown the complexity.
But it's not going to happen as long as providers sell updating & installing linux as a service. You don't want to loose your only source of income...
(Gaming refers to online FPS gaming, not MMORPG since i know nothing about network requirements for those.)
Look it actually matters for gaming. In fact upstream matters more than downstream if you are playing quake3. (upstream traffic is about 1.5 times more than downstream).
If you dont play games, the current development of broadband connectivity is going to help you. Nobody is really considering what games needs, just 'more downstream, more downstream'.
Gaming needs better upstream & very very low latency (the lower the better).
I think this is the right thing to do. Sue those who are actually breaking the law, not those who are providing or creating a service that can be used for perfectly legit stuff.
RIAA hasn't exactly been nice before, but at least they are trying to target real traders with this.
Ofcourse people are innocent untill proven otherwise.

Games should just support gpg and/or x.v503 for identification and verification of who players.
Optional ofcourse, ie not much use for FFA games, but for clan games it would quickly be a requirement if it was easy to use.
gimp1_3 (2.0 beta) is in contribs on the net at least, maybe on one the cd's too.
The contrib part of mandrake is quite huge these days.
Have you actually tried gnumeric 1.2.x?
Other than VBA stuff i don't think there is anything excel does that gnumeric can't.
Well following rawhide was pretty impossible with only a package manager, and no dependency resolver.
I Can't see a problem using for C. You just end up coding similar stuff with another name in C projects. Thus creating your own bugs.
Opennoffice is not a part of GNOME office.
Apple had to develop a compatabilty layer, called webcore, to get rid of KDE dependencies.

I his relative in denmark!
I see, i probably did the (font) work myself then ;). Geeky me.
Mandrake Has just relaesed a LiveCD called MandrakeMOVE. One version for use with an USB Key or one for use with no USB key.
Another thing is that Textar is mainly releasing an bugfix/update of mandrake. Nice, but 99% of the work is done by mandrakesoft. The world of GPL.
Their gnome handling is quite nice too. Although i prefer the gnome default over the mandrake default, mainly because of panel setup.. but that is so easy to change.
I have both installed using mandrake cooker.. doesn't break my default 2.4 kernel
yeah that and the eurovision song contest... if you don't know what is, don't worry. You are better off not knowing...
Try reading the windows 2000 boot screen
It has a line that ends with "NT technology"
"New technology technology" ?

Microsoft windows reaches quite a few more users than AOL ever will.
The patch was never accepted upstream, so GTK does not have any transparency menu hacks.

Don't compare DEB's with RPM. They are just a fileformat. Compare the tools....

Fixable in GNOME at least... /apps/metacity/general/button_layout
I have menu,minimize,maximize:close
the ':' defines the split between left/right.
It may be legal in US. But corporate laws are stricter in EU. At least it wasn't legal to claim what they did in germany without backing it up.
I think this is the right thing to do. Sue those who are actually breaking the law, not those who are providing or creating a service that can be used for perfectly legit stuff.
