I like notepad. It does basic text editing very well and very fast. If you need something with better capabilities use Wordpad, or get a real word processor.
It wasn't missing packages. It was RPM's insistence that library A has to be installed before package B, where it is highly non-obvious where library A is. Nothing in the README about the install order, and I didn't want to spend time examining each package to see just what was in it.
Downloaded all the RPMS from kde.org and the README as well. The instructions are to go to the directory you downloaded the KDE files into and do the following:
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde`
rpm -Uvh *rpm
This removes ALL the old qt/KDE stuff, and then installs the new stuff. The first part works, the second fails with many dependency errors. This is because RPM can't do something like "a.rpm needs library X, let's see if any of the other RPM's in this directory have library X in them."
However, a quick check of "man rpm" reveals the "--nodeps" switch, which tells it to ignore dependencies.
Only two problems so far. One is that some programs (such as konqueror) are set R/W but not executable! (This is in the gui button thingy, they can run from the command line) . The other is that, for some reason, the default font for konqueror is greek. So I switched to helvetica.
They all require *you* to adapt to work around their obvious limitations
That's not a bug, it's a feature. The Newton tried to learn how you wrote (it tried to adapt to the user). The Palm requires you to adapt to it. The Palm costs less, and works better. There are highly adaptable systems out there. They're called "notebook computers". A PDA needs to do a few things, very well, at low cost. With low cost being the important part. Thus Grafitti, by freeing up processor power for other things, is better than the Newton system.
I've been trained in that stuff. It's wonderful in theory. In practice? All the metrics only work if you are doing the same stuff you've done before. If you are doing something new, then they don't work. Which is why few people actually use them.

I remember going to the Official Time Clock of the US Naval Observatory and seeing the time as "00:01 01/01/19100".
Not sure what the average age of death was, but it wasn't unusual for people to live into their 60's.
The 1996 one depicted 16 year olds. The play has Juliet as a 12 year old.
Think of the cartoons! All those poor defenseless anime children forced into sexual slavery at the stroke of a pen!
Because the picture is of a 14 year old.

Some States have that law, for hourly employees at least. In Utah it was 10 minutes per 4 hours.
You didn't read that comment, did you? Ballard is looking for evidence of a great not global flood.
Oy vey! Now I feel old. "China White" was a type of heroin that was popular 15-20 years ago.

OTOH, it's excellent in weight loss assistance.
They did.
He did say, in his diary (last night), that he some secret plan for something cool. Methinks it bit him in the butt.
Dammit, how can I post a comment that'll piss off streetlawyer AND trhurler at the same time if the site is dead?

Come to think of it, IIRc, there's a RH6.2 directory at kde.org. Check there.

They might. The latest license for the smb patents has a "do not use with open source" clause in it...

Looks good on a resume, though.
C++ isn't that old. C, yes, but C++ is one of the newer languages.
Well, 1 inch=2.54 cm. But I suspect that the thing was spec'd in inches/second and the number just converted to cm/sec.
