Any updates on this ?

I have the same problem on Arch so it's no distro specific. I think it started happening with the 3.x kernel, I will check an older one in order to make sure.

My main PC (the one in my signature): Arch Linux (Gnome)
My laptop (P4 3GHz, 512MB RAm) : Ubuntu 7.10
My small home server (P3 850MHz): CentOS 4.5
Another desktop (Athlon64 X2, 1GB RAM): Apple OSX...

I use Flashget download manager under Wine and it uses the same ammount of RAM than in WindowsXP. Remember Wine is not an emulator.

I just use wget for all my downloading needs just keep Flashget...

Saying that they should merge is very disrespectful to Debian in my opinion.

It is a great forum software. It is by far the best free forum available, and it even competes in features with commercial solutions like vBulletin.

Security is flawless so far and upgrading to a...

There is no way to measure how many users a distro has by the downloads. Damn I have downloaded more than 50 distros but use just two. :P

I was an old time amarok user but Exaile covers my needs now. It handles my massive collection pretty nice and its very fast.

Tbh amarok has loads of extra features but I didn't really use them...

Just that your last post is the complete opposite of the first one. :P

Use Exaile, I find it to be pretty much the same in basic tasks and much faster than amaroK as well.

As they state in their page:
"Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok,...

I used to trust Seagate as all their drivers I got are still working, some after years and years. However when I read they bought Maxtor I lost that trust. You can't be sure what they manufacture...

I just love it when people suddently discover what is "wrong" with Linux and start making blogs and forum posts.

Guess what, most people don't think there is anything wrong with it. They just...

K3b
amaroK (always!)
k9copy
Kompozer

I used to install KTorrent as well but I've found Deluge is faster and less heavy.

I guess this topic is pretty useless. :P

Gnome is written in C, what is wrong with C? :)

If anyone wants to write some program for Gnome it doesn't mean he should use C, he can use whatever he...

I am using Compiz Fusion on Gutsy and I am pretty happy with it, very stable and much better than what Beryl ever was. And I am using almost all the plugins. :)

Gnome written in Java? :shock:

Thats like what I would wish to my worst enemy. "I wish your Gnome is written in Java and uses 7GB of RAM. Boo!"

Open K9Copy and shrink and copy a DVD or open DeVeDe and create a DVD and then talk about performance. Even better try to make a bug tar.gz file or apply some filters on Gimp on big files.

I don't think this is correct.

Lets say Joomla 1.0.5 has a serious security problem.

I think Ubuntu as of the Feisty Fawn version is mature enough to suggest to new users to use the AMD64 CPU if their CPU is compatible.

If everyone keeps saying "get the 32bit version its easier,...

I think you are missing the point. Cooperation is good, sharing code is even better but you can decide how you want to share your code. And if you ask me, I wouldn't code a line if it was to be...

Thats right but you don't see to the other side.

You are a Linux developer. You take some BSD code, improve it, add new bits to it and then release it as BSD again. Now, you have spend MANY hours...

Very funny, you must be proud of yourself. :mad:

Even if the Gnome dudes think this is fine, I find it unacceptable. There are thousands of times I want to do a simple operation (rename a folder, display hidden files) and I need to close...
