  1. Re:Pagers and virtual desktops on KDE 3.2 Release Candidate 1 Debuts · · Score: 1

    kpager is nice, but with enlightenment it was possible to move/snap windows to different parts of the visible desktop at the press of a key/button - if memory serves me well.

    I sorely miss this enlightenment feature in KDE too, since certain apps (TV) you want to be able to shuffle out of the way rapidly whilst they remain visible.

    KDE feature request: ability to toggle a window between two preset states (size/position) at the click of a title bar button.

  2. Re:Such small vacation times ... such high payroll on 2002 SAGE Salary Survey Finally Released · · Score: 1

    what you're really trying to say is that you get the extra 25 days off for working a lot more than 35 hours a week.

    The trick is keeping those long days short.

  3. MDK beats RH on MandrakeSoft's Status Update · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Mandrake is much more polished for the desktop than redhat. MDK has urpmi, basically apt-get for rpm, a seriously useful tool. The other drake (gui/console) tools are great too. Mandrake may have started as a branched version of RH, but it's definitely taking the lead now. Release 9.1 has proved to be very solid. I run it both at home and the office.

    Redhat tends to lag far behind with their releases. You can thank RH for changing standard locations of files too. They are starting to suffer from all the incumbencies of a large corporate.

    Having said that they are both basically the same, and you can add Susi to the list. The main thing these distro are based on is RPM and how they group their files into packages. Both target the desktop and server markets. RH has been very successful in establishing its name in the corporate world.

    My main concern is that I am starting to hear "Redhat" mentioned more than "Linux", and sometimes interchangeably. it's all about perception. Business is starting to think that Redhat is the only choice !
