  1. Re:Other architectures on SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO Available For Free Download · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, there doesn't exist an x86_64 SUSE 9.1 Personal version.

  2. "Own"? on GNOME Gets its Own Software Repository · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Own" is good when this is in fact a commercial third party site.

  3. Re:multi-gnome-terminal on Terminal Emulators Reviewed · · Score: 1

    And does it have a GNOME 2 version? From the webpage it's seems to be a rather dead project.

  4. Plastikfox on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't care about the default look as long there is Plastik for Firefox available which also includes Crystal icons and Cancel<->OK button swap.

  5. Re:Xamian on Suse 9.1 Reviews? · · Score: 1

    Completely wrong. XD2 is based on GNOME 2.4. SuSE Pro 9.1 comes with GNOME 2.4 with Ximian patches.

  6. Re:Yes, enter Kolab! on Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Not sponsored, it was a regular contract work. The companies now have a new contract working towards Kolab2.

  7. Re:switch users on Interview: Xandros and KDE · · Score: 1

    SUSE 9.1 has it too. Plain KDE only offers a "Start New Session" menu entry if properly configured, but no user switching (you have to use Ctrl-Alt-F7, Ctrl-Alt-F8 etc.).

  8. Re:Shows free GUI software's problem on TheOpenCD 1.4 Released · · Score: 1

    You mean like eg all the Windows media players which all have exactly this one and only skin which makes them look conform to the native W32 widget set?

  9. Re:Still got plenty of KDE goodies. on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    And where in the package list do you see any part of kdenetwork or the whole package mentioned? kopete is a separate Debian package - if it's not there then Kopete is not there.

  10. Re:Still got plenty of KDE goodies. on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    Also including the Plastik style and window decoration as option would have not required much space. And at least one KDE audio player like JuK or amaroK would have been nice.

  11. Re:Inclue Knoppix with a virus scanner on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    Just to add to myself that f-prot *is* an option in the Knoppix-Live Installer already.

  12. Re:Inclue Knoppix with a virus scanner on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    And what about current signatures? Why not offer the virus scanner as live install option then too?

  13. Re:No Kmail? on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    KMail is not a part of KOffice, so no - KMail has not been removed from Knoppix 3.4.

  14. Re:... welcome to 6 weeks ago on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    That was the Knoppix 3.4 *CeBIT* version - without KDE 3.2.2, OpenOffice 1.1.1 and Gimp 2.0.

  15. Re:Still got plenty of KDE goodies. on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, KOffice is not gone completely - there is still koffice-i18n-de. ;-) What I don't understand is that according to the package list Kopete doesn't seem to be included?

    Nah, the SUSE website has more and better screenshots.

    Why unauthorized? In the comment section a colleague writes he downloaded it from a "press only" server. So I would respect more deeper reviews soon.

  18. Re:Redhat got it right on Novell Desktop To Standardize On Qt [updated] · · Score: 1

    > With so many of the gtk programs riviling the qt equivalents

    Your problem is that there are more good KDE than Qt-only programs out there in contrary to more Gtk-only based than GNOME-based programs existing. So compare Gtk/GNOME with Qt/KDE or if you want to fail worse GNOME-based with KDE-based programs.

    > The Gtk and Qt event loops aren't compatible (don't know the exact details since I haven't used Qt), so it isn't a trivial matter to take a Gtk program and make it use Qt.

    Do you know how KDE is developed? Apparently not. They use CVS and there is a KDE_3_2_1_RELEASE tag for days now.

    And I can still point out violations up until the newest GNOME development version. So what is your point?

    You like to troll?
