It's nice to hear that you would have no problem with Qt for in-house development too. Because I wouldn't know where to get commercial support for Gtk. Anyone else?

Don't they already require you to register, pay and send your system and package information to them? Nothing of this with SuSE whose update work with every anon ftp mirror (and provides fixes for one year more).

Review of SuSE 8.2

From the README.FTP: "Preparing your own installation server: Just copy the whole installation tree to your local disk and make it available via network."

This is an article about a specific installation problem. The real Linux and Main SuSE 8.2 Pro Review ends with "But again, once it's up and running, SuSE 8.2 Professional is great."
Slashdot Mirror
First menu shadows, now mockups. What will be the next GNOME headline? That one developer has the idea to add an option?
Don't forget the Kolab 1.0 server which is supposed to be released during LinuxTag too.
Forgot: Are these per-seat licenses? I guess at least the 69$ is one.
How it is possible that nobody yet asked if they again include their own file dialog different to Gnome vanilla's?

Sure, even older.
The discreeted possible data loss. They at least should have based their import/export on 1.1 trunk.

Own? You mean a 5% share? TrollTech is by the majority owned by their employes.

Huh? KDE and GNOME do press releases as long as I can remember back.

You should read the weekly KDE CVS Digest if you're so eager to read about new features.
I don't think 2.3.2 will be delayed, the tarballs are due today - like according to the plan I linked to.
The link to the KDE 3.1.2 change log is missing in the story. And for the case you missed it, the KDE 3.1 New Feature Guide and the KDE 3.1 Screenshots are still available.
Don't bother to install Gnome 2.3.1, according to Gnome's release schedule 2.3.2 is to be released in two days.
There is no SuSE 8.2 FTP version yet. It's released a month or so after the evaluation version which was just released.

But only the 1 CD evaluation version. Selling a copy of the full product for money is illegal!
It's only the OpenOffice.org Quickstarter.

I don't see where this article is talking about optimizing other then self-compiling. Better read the KDE performance tips.
You confuse objprelink with the real prelink.
