I agree. Although many people see blogs as narcissic, useless ramblings, I think developers' blog, at least those where they talk about the software more than about their personal lives, are really fun to read to know what happens with the dev and their code between the changelogs:) I like to read PlanetKDE, PlanetGnome and the various mozilla-related blogs, for example.
I agree that Knoppix is probably the best way to go to install gentoo, however in some case you're stuck with the gentoo CD (installing AMD64, for example).
In that case, you should boot in a FB console. When starting links, use the command:
'links -g' it will start in graphical mode and you'll be able to enjoy graphical web.:)
I don't see a reason for compaines to try to use ads in p2p, since most of the users are just teenagers getting music and have little money to begin with
Daddy, can you buy me...
Children nagging is one of the most profitable form of advertising. (Because it's way more easier to buy the stuff to shut them up than to teach them to not be the consumerist freaks they will become).
How is visiting one candidate website "interferes".
Here's a deal; I won't comment your stupid election if its result DOESN'T change my life (for the worst, in both case...)
Yeah...
See, stop trying to be the world's sheriff. Then we'll start ignoring your politics.
Note: it's hard to not care/comment when half of my TV and half of my internet is from CNN/Time Warner/Fox etc...

Updates From Debian

I suggest trying to install directly from knoppix. You get a really messed-up debian but a working one. If Knoppix works then the HD install will; simple as that.
It is then easy to slowly upgrade everything to unstable or testing, recompile kernel if necessary (only if needed for modules, else don't bother).
Of course to get a "real" debian you will end doing a lot more work than simply installing it from the start (fixing those rc-scripts, removing half of the pacakges etc...) but at least "it works".
Make sure you have broadband because you'll end up installing the whole distro again, basically.
Amarok is actually not an arts frontend. Although the first versions were arts-only, one of the goal of amarok is to be the testbed for other framework into KDE.
Version 1+ supports gstreamer (and direct-ALSA too I believe), and I know support for other framework is being worked on too.
There were many complaints about the previous long freeze. I personally think this is a *good* thing to release fast like this.
However, I believe it will be the last release for a while (disregarding maintenance release) because the next one will be KDE4.
I wish more programs would go the Quanta way of releasing both WITH KDE and as seperate release (look out for Quanta BE...) so those of us who don't want to mess with CVS can get the new features without having to wait for KDE4. I believe the KDE-PIM module will start doing this too.
Yes, although it does show a lot of potential, it just crashes too often on my box.
Using Konqueror with all video files associated to "mplayer -zoom" is what I've found works best so far.
For music, I really like JuK. Amarok seems nice but it is very buggy too (once I set gstreamer, which wasn't configured properly, I couldn't ever revert to arts, for example)
From what I could gather, the developers were very reticent about implementing this feature. Many dev were actually *against* the idea of HTML email.
It was, however, the wish with most votes on bugs.kde.org. So I guess implementing this wish was a case of dev listening to users.
I believe it finally got implemented because of the work on Kafka (Quanta WYSIWYG component) made it not-so-hard.
In any case, it will be OFF by default, obviously.
It's still a bunch of small programs... they just integrate inside eachother so well that many people love to use them this way. (Check the evolution of Kontact, for example, or Konqueror, which is not so big if you would only load the KHTML part)
Just like you can pipe grep with awk with sed... but graphically somehow:P
Slashdot Mirror
... Another failed DRM attempt: priceless.
`hey, it's a price well worth paying for free speech`? Yes.
What a deal.
Since you're not installing anything, you could have one for all the use cases possible (with some more "all-around", like knoppix)
I'm actually serious, you were moderated informative but I am really wondering where the superiority of the MS tools come from..?
Yes, my sig, I know, I'm a fan :P
Chuck.
Geek reality-TV? :P
I'm pretty sure Scribus would have no problem :)
I am pretty sure AbiWord will follow.
If the 3 major OSS office suites switch, I'm pretty sure the rest will follow too :)
Of course I don't think MS Office will ever import natively OASIS files.
Some people believe no one is illegal.
Your CEO shipped your job to him for the shareholder.
Can't really blame the other guy now... right?

So you can disagree to the EULA again?

Thats what they do where I work...
Although it's more of a joke, it would be nice if it was possible to encrypt/sign messages sent to various forums on the internet.
Implemented as a plugin in browsers? Possible at all?

Major Kontact improvements all-around
Amarok, a new audio player that will hopefulyl replace the awful Noatun/Kaboodle
KolourPaint - which was needed
My wish: integrate Konversation, and get rid of Keramik :)
