Windows is just about as easy to use as any other operating system. Some operating systems may be easier to use in certain areas, but they lack in other areas. There is no silver bullet here, not Windows, not System X, not Linux (KDE,Gnome)

A text webbrowser, a ftpclient, telnet etc is also pretty basic, but don't expect to find it in LFS. LFS is sorta just enough to build another LFS from.

You could ofcourse read the article (as you claim you did):
"the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress amounts to only 10 terabytes of information"
How much of that 750M is buffer, and how much is cache. Now tell me again how much MB were used by KDE or Gnome. Unused memory is wasted memory.

Eifel is simply the best language I ever saw on paper, and I looked at quite a few languages for my study.
I never imagined I could ever download a free compiler to actually compile the programs I jotted down during exams.
Don't know about the book, I haven't read them. I didn't expect it from such a mainstream movie, I expected more resolution.

But somehow it works: brilliant.

And since the article says the information is stored in 'the protons' magnetic moments', the number of molecules shouldn't really matter.

You must like compiling a lot. Coming to you soon: KDE 3.1 (release has been tagged in CVS).
While you wait you can try to get your hands on KDE 3.1 RC4 and compile it just for the heck of it.

Same happen when you start a Gnome app in a non-Gnome Desktop or a Windows app in a non-Windows desktop, It's called overhead.

Seems only logical, doesn't it? kdm -> KDE, gdm -> Gnome. And since it's debian that is doing that, not KDE's fault.

Finally something we can agree on.
