Could you run gcc on a Yopy and if so how fast does it compile the kernel.
This further question is a off topic:)
Does anyone keep benchmarks of compile times on different linux configurations? This would be really valuable for deciding what hardware to buy because I spend lots of time waiting for the compiler and 20second-1minute makes a big difference when I'm in the removing syntax error phase.
I don't agree with people wanting to loose Qt from KDE. Qt is one of things that made KDE possible.
Qt has a great design and even better documentation. What's more it's commecial grade software that you get for free. (Provided of course that you aren't commercial yourself, if you are commercial then of course you should pay them, just like you want other people to pay you).
What Qt doesn't provide is an application framework. The folkes Toll tech I think believe that corporations (their customers) will develop their own in-house application framework and my experience is that this is what happens. The great thing about KDE is that they are providing this application framework for the rest of us free software source code hugging lackies.
Oh yeah, KDE is also demonstrating how cool their application framework is by producing inter-operable applications.
Microsoft tried hard to address this inter-operability common look and feel thing, and they are still trying. They had the difficulty that they were Microsoft but still did some neat things. Now KDE has the opportunity to make a significant contribution to this area and I think they will.
I see the challenge facing KDE as: Create an open standards framework that allows a high level of co-orporation between applications.
i.e display this data for me. Print this, play that. Fetch me this, that data just got updated etc.
I think the KDE group are already a long way down this path and by producing the suite of applications they are they can give their framework the impetus required to get people using it.

The Next Generation attacts engineers and scientists because it is the only escapist TV program in which the engineers are the heros. Star Wars is more akin to a classic fairy tale where the young prince rescues the princess and battles pure evil.
Talking about brainier people misses the point and gets into an argument about how to measure intelligence.
