  1. If they add an installer, what will all the kiddies do who think they're leet because of the old way to install. By the way whats with them being behind the times. They aren't using KDE 3.5 yet, and are still using the old version of John the Ripper and gcc4 isn't even available, they take forever to test their packages. I never understood the appeal of gentoo.

  2. Here's what the father of linux has to say about Gnome.

    "I don't use GNOME, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do," "I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE."~Linus Torvalds

    "Often your 'fixes' are actually removing capabilities that you had, because they were 'too confusing to the user'," "GNOME seems to be developed by interface Nazis, where consistently the excuse for not doing something is not 'it's too complicated to do', but 'it would confuse users'."~Torvalds

  3. Suse 10.0 OSS, running KDE 3.4.2. Nice, fast, and stable. I like it! :thumbsup:

    I little behind the times aren't you hitest? Upgrade to 3.5 you'll like it even more trust me.

    Heh-heh, I suppose, but, if it ain't broke, why fix it? :D

    What are some of the things that you like in 3.5, Carnevil? Are there huge changes in 3.5?

    Here's the new features for 3.5 http://www.kde.org/announcements/visualguide-3.5.php. Alot of the changes aren't huge, I've noticed a significant speed increase between 3.4 and 3.5. I do like that, I also like that konqueror now has ad-block, superkaramba is also now part of the base install. 3.5 is really just a small release with a few additional nice features, kind of a stepping stone towards 4.0, which is going to be huge.

  4. Question for everybody, is there some unwritten rule that you have to spend Christmas with family? I ask because my buddy wants me to come down to his place in KY for a while, and my mom got rather upset when I told her I wasn't going to be their for Christmas.

  5. I was broke into computers using win3.1 with dos 5 and learned enough that I had no trouble doing or fixing things. in fact I still have my origional copy of win3.1 and dos5. that was 180 years ago. I am sick of M$ windows and willing to experiment so I will ask questions. be back later with more questions. thank you guys.

    Excellent!

    I'm happy you're starting to get into Linux! Take your time and read a lot on the Internet. When you do go for it and need help please come here and post your questions.

    I'm proud to say that BT has the smartest Linux experts that I've ever had the pleasure to know. These guys really know their stuff. :thumbsup:

    Welcome to Linux. :D

    Yeah BT has some of the best Linux people, they're actually decent people too. I use Freebsd and I don't get crap like this said to me "Oh please. The problem with FreeBSD is the same problem

    that the Amiga and BE OS ran into which is that their userbases are comprised mostly of self-rightous *JACKASSES*". I can give alot more quotes like this from the linux base, but I won't hold the ramblings of a bunch of 15 year olds against all linux users. Granted it's quotes like this that drove me away from the linux community, everytime I saw any article praising any of the BSD's especially freebsd, I always saw linux users talking crap. It's like they can't control themselves or they feel threatened some how the the BSD's. Enough of my ramblings though, I'll tell you this, just stick with BT linux users and you'll be all right and won't run into the idiocy, oh and stay far far away from Gentoo linux trust me.

  6. Whoah! Here goes my imagination again ... It looks like the planet in Pitch Black . I expect to see those scary creatures flying out any moment now.

    What're the grey bars?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    The bars are part of my terminal multi-aterm there should be only the top bar. But at the time I took this screenshot I had forgotten the command to make the scroll bar transparent. After I rebuild the world to 6.0rc1 I'll take another screenshot this time you won't see the scrollbar. Oh I'd like the thank everybody for the warm welcome too.
