    If he can get in. Windows update broke the security system, and now the door won't open from the outside.

    (Actually had that happen when a developer decided to install updates on the security system, which has no direct contact with the internet (no gateway + firewalled traffic).

    As of right now the project is very geared towards Ubuntu. I just posted on Fedora Projects G+ page about supporting it, but I feel like they're going to say there isn't enough manpower on the TDE team to keep up with newer backend requirements (systemd, firewalld, etc).

    TDE ran fantastic when I used it last on an older laptop (P3 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, Fedora 16). I think the team needs some more manpower, since it's slow to support newer operating systems (F17 is the last supported FC, for example), and needs a lot of documentation (I'd build from source if they had some instructions, but it's a mess).

    Actually, I'd be completely behind this. But, my development skills rank around "not so good" so I do better at testing and what not, which I'd be willing to do for a project like that if it was making progress.

  17. Re:Expect more of this. on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 1

    Disagree - the "Desktop Environments" - KDE, GNOME, Unity, XFCE, RazorQT, and LXDE, are geared towards being a "Desktop." Some do this in a much better manner then others (GNOME isn't doing so good IMO). Perhaps you're thinking of "Window Managers," which are a part of a DE.

  18. Re:Expect more of this. on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 1

    I wasn't thinking that far back. More like 2006 era, KDE 3 days, etc. Although I never had much issue with editing xfree86.conf personally.

    Really? The downfall of desktop Linux is trying to emulate Windows. Much better off when it was more UNIX-y

  22. Re:Why? on Critical Security Updates Coming To Windows XP, 8, RT & Server · · Score: 1

    I've had Windows drivers die on update - the best one that comes to mind for me was my Toshiba laptop (2006). Had WiFi issues with XP SP3 when that came out, and WiFi, GPU and Power Managment really hit the fan in Vista for a short while, and then again in Windows 7 (wouldn't work with the Vista drivers, due to some issue with Toshiba's installers. Had to go through some hoops to get everything working).

    For long term stability in Linux, I'm using RHEL. RHEL 5 still supports the software I need it to run, RHEL 6 works well too. I'm considering moving some systems to Solaris to avoid some things that are going to be in RHEL 7....

    Which would wonderful to see that level of cooperation, and some great things could result. RazorQT is very close to what i want from a DE, and LXDE works pretty well too (I'm a fan of QT over GTK).
