Personally I think this is a great boost for Linux. One look and feel! God way too many choices! Ok, I admit choice is good, and Redhat hasn't done anything to take away choice. You can still use IceWM if you want. But this bluecurve stuff is great! Just was checking it out. I'm going to burn off my Mandrake 9.0 download, and download Redhat and burn that too. Picking up some 700MB CDs for the Mandrake today. Redhat probably will need them too. Personally they have been pretty heavy and I intend to keep my Gentoo. Redhat and Mandrake are really starting to look ready for deployment though. So I will have to test them out again. I have thought this before only to be proved wrong. Not sure when I will be able to post a review. Time is scarce now for me and will be for the next few months. Anybody know a good cloning doctor? These KDE people need to LIGHTEN UP. ;-) JMHO, Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: desynergy@onebox.ucmmail.com > [mailto:desynergy@onebox.ucmmail.com] > Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 10:13 AM > To: kclug@kclug.org > Subject: KDE - Red Hat spat escalates > > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/27292.html > > A leading KDE developer has quit Red Hat, in objection, he > says, to the leading distro's decision to "unify" the desktop. > > "I don't want to work on crippling KDE, and they don't want > an employee who admits RH 8.0's KDE is crippleware" wrote > Bernhard 'Bero' Rosenkraenzer in a posting to the KDE > developers list.
