You must be mentally challenged. This Bullshit about KDE being bloated is a farce. I'm using 300MB's out of 1GB of ram running Kmail, Amarok, MPlayer, 3 Konqueror windows with 3-5 tabs open, mysql in the background. Total about 92 processes not all of KDE's either. Don't even begin to tell me KDE is more bloated then Windows. Yes, OOo is bloated and Firefox is slow as shit but those aren't KDE or Gnome apps. In fact for KDE Koffice is very fast and so is konqueror. And the coming release of KDE4 is going to be even faster with the new QT4.
Oh but wait, I'm stating fact and reason here from experience and known truth. I forgot I'm on slashdot.
Bullshit. Slackware is every bit as relevant as it was in 1993. You really have no clue how large the Slackware user base is. Slackware is the only distro that has really stayed true to itself after so many years. You can have your distro of the week. You can spend all your time playing with your tic-tac distro and enjoy the flavor for 5 seconds then move on in a few months. Some people actually want to *know* their systems because of interest or because it is their job to know. As long as there is a community there will always be Slackware, even when Pat has departed.
Wow that's great! For anyone who wants to spend $800(lowest emac) for a totally new system with new hardware. What a great idea.

Are you kidding me? So *BSD is made of PHD holding engineers who are absolutely the most mature people ever. While Linux developers are blathering idiots who wouldn't know '==' from '='?
Get over yourself. I've seen some bad pissing contests and immature bullshit in the BSD devs circles too.
Linux community = larger, therefore we have more "fanboys". With such a broad culture of people you're bound to run into a few you don't particularly like. I have been using Linux for 5 years. I'm not insanely anti-Microsoft, no I don't like their business but I don't go around telling everyone they are idiots for using their stuff. I really don't care what people use. I use my computers to get things done, I can do all those things in Linux so I choose to.
So I guess I kinda break up your statistic there huh? Probably the other thousands of people who just use Linux to get things done might as well.
You act like people just walked into developing Linux. "Jee you know what, I have no clue about anything computers but I think I'll make a kernel today!".
Post when you actually have something other then anecdotal evidence to try and make you look intelligent. Oh wait this is Slashdot, thats asking too much.
But it's true. As of today it does not exist and from what he says their tit-for-tat methodology will not work in the real world then it probably never will be real.
That memory swapping is just linux in general. XP has a different memory management. I also see a problem with the MSH. Microsoft has this habit of complicating the fuck out of everything. So you write scripts for version 1.3 of MSH and then it goes to version 1.4 and all your scripts are broken. Jee thats really fucking helpfull. I'm not saying thats how it is or will be but it's seems very possible with Microsoft running the show.
script-kiddie OS? script-kiddies are know nothing punks who just download the newest Windows vulnerability off the internet. They don't actually know jack shit. Sorry if I say but it takes a little more effort to use then most script kiddies want to put out.
It's *written* consent from all authors. It's just like the old BSD license when it had the advertising license where you had to list all contributors of a project if you advertised the software. Meaning if you had 1000 developers for a project that would easily fill an entire page in a magazine. Making the 20k dollars you just spent on a magazine ad a big list of names no one cares about. XFree86 has done this now too and made it a little bit worse too.
Read the license again! There is a no advertising without written permission clause. This is incompatible with the GPL *and* the amount of work it would take to get written consent from *every* developer to put "has XFree86 4.4" on a box or on a webpage is so much a pain in the ass it's quite insane that they even added that clause.
The problem is their *frameworks* are completely different. Because of this if you wanted to bring the two together you would have to scrap one DE's entire framework as "melting" them together would take so many man hours I don't even want to think about it. The closest your going to get is esthetic integration. KDE uses a lot of things that integrating into GNOME would be more work then it's worth. Kpart's(embedding applications in other applications aka konqueror), Kioslaves(doing ftp:// in kate and being able to remotely modify files directly), and many other things that make up KDE. I don't know much about GNOME's framework to tell you the truth. There will never be true integration. Accept it.
So when you install new apps you NEVER have to reboot? When you update windows you NEVER have to reboot? When you install new drivers(video, etc.) you NEVER have to reboot?
Wow that sounds like a great version of Windows. Sure wish you weren't the only person using it in fantasyland.
No, even if they did own 100 or so lines. They only own those lines.(but they don't)
The rest of the code is still copyrighted by their respective authors. They can't claim ownership over things they didn't write. That's why they want to "license" to linux users $699 per processor so they can save their failing business and create some sustainable income. But that will happen only in Darl McBride's dreams.
Peren's stated before that there will be no KDE *OR* QT libraries. Meaning. If you wanted to even *run* an app like K3b, your screwed.
Oh but you can just 'apt-get' the packages. But that makes no sense. If you wanted that, then you would just use regular debian or any other distro that has *both* out of the box.
To me, UL offers nothing, to *me* at least. I'm not everyone. So it's your choice.

Go read that book and then come back and post.
Maybe you should RTFA and look at some of the other posts. They are not distributing the source of MPlayer. The only thing they are distributing on their site is Linux kernel and busybox. No Mplayer code. So maybe *YOU* should check before you open your mouth.
What in the hell are you talking about? "Linux barely supports most of that stuff"
Linux fully supports *ALL* of that stuff. Has for a long time now. Keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about.
I just got the game yesterday and i must say. Bioware pulled me back in. I wasn't as thrilled with Shadows of Undertide as I was the first. But Hordes of the Underdark is...well...bitchin.
And yes it works in linux just in case anyone is wondering.

Most of those aren't companies. And in reference to Fedora, that's completely different.
But it's true. As of today it does not exist and from what he says their tit-for-tat methodology will not work in the real world then it probably never will be real.

Yes but the developers don't have a couple million dollars for Advertising and stuff like perens does.
Theres a difference between "kernel" and "user-space". User-space is where all the apps that do that sort of stuff go.

I know quite a few hospitals and clinics use it. And other businesses for their accounting software.
