I don't think this really does justice to both of them, especially not KDE.


You are wrong here. Qt is under the GPL on Linux and OSX and (though only recently) Windows.
There is however also a...

Ehm, many people are still having problem with video playback and XGL, especiall when using xv.


Don't twist my words, young man.
If anything redhat is at step 11, not at step 1. That is,...

And this assumption is all you base your very clear opinion on? Come on, tell me that's not true.


But that's not true. The only differnce you can see and the only thing you seem to base your...

No. Qt, the library KDE uses, used to be under a lisence that was not compatible with the GPL. That was I think the main reason why Gnome was started. However, Qt now has been under the GPL for iirc...

Don't worry, kde software also works on gnome and gnome software also works on kde.

Redhat and some X hackers seem to disagree on this. At least they claim that it's far from certain that XGL is the better, more sustainable apporach.


Ah, I think you are making the mistake of...

Not really. I think Ubuntu is more mature, not Gnome itself. And I never understood why people thought KDE was more like windows, but that's probably an other discussion.


I don't think you'll...

Oh, this is a subject for a holy war. :-D

There are two versions because there are two major desktops for Linux. Gnome and KDE.

Ubuntu is the...

I might be wrong (I often am), but I don't think it's really about the compositing engine, but about the underlying architecture.
Case in point, the redhad solution also uses metacity with a...

Then you have a problem.
AFAIK xgl should work on your card and according to redhat, their new bling should also work on it. :D

I'll admit it though, one can have worse problems. ;)

Now with XGL recently released and even available on dapper now (and it rocks btw.) you thought the future of X was settled?

Think again.
Redhat has apparently been working on something similar...

And I quote:

So no, it wasn't.


Refering to gentoo being designed to be faster you wrote and I quote:

??????

No, I didn't. And you should really ask if you think make.conf only makes sense when it comes to performance.


But you implied it. Otherwise all you wrote about the kernel didn't make any sense....

No, it's not obvious at all. And even the little marketing site you linked to doesn't claim performance to be gentoo's primary purpose.
P.S.:
Ask ciaranm, he'll tell you what the point of make.conf...

:twisted:
Cue joke about how I was answering faster because I was using gentoo... ;)

No, it hasn't. But if I'm wrong, maybe you could provide a document where drobins states that this was the primary purpose of gentoo.


There's a default kernel now in gentoo? I highly doubt this....

Why? Don't they have a mind?


Ehm, mindmapping is a technique, not a program and though the program the OP mentioned might only be for windows there are several good mindmapping tools for linux,...

Just wanted to clear this up. My intention was not to bash kubuntu in any way. Having used kubuntu on and off for some time now I know the devs are working hard on it and it is getting better.
...

Don't judge KDE by Kubuntu.
Kubuntu has, to put it mildly, a lot of issues.

No, it hasn't.
First, because the GPL 3.0 simply does not exist right now. What's there is a first draft that is meant for public review and discussion.
Second, the goal of the provisions about drm...

Exactly my point.

I'm the nitpicky kind of user, who can't help but point out that open source software can also be propietary.

Bull. HD/Blue-ray discs that require HDCP simply won't work in HD mode if HDCP isn't available, whether you run Vista, Linux, Bsd, zeta, or whatever.

Nope.

Is this the stupid study where they had the Linux admins install a software that was not supported on SLES 8, required them to change the glibc in order to do so and only after some naturally borked...
