Innovation... (spits coffee across the desk)... KDE's a direct copy of all the stuff in better commercial desktops. Always has been. There's no innovation anywhere than the team constantly rebuilding how they BUILD... as you pointed out... they mess with the BUILD system. Been listening to the KDE/GNOME battles since before anyone used them, son... they're boring and neither desktop provides much more than bloatware. Guess what: End users never see the BUILD system, and don't care.

KDE, Amarok and KDevelop are the most innovative Linux programs I have ever seen. They don't copy. They invent. They lead the pack. There is no audio player that rivals Amarok 2. There is no desktop that is as rich and featurful as KDE that consumes less than 200 MB memory and is CPU efficient. And it's 100% free and open source. -- solarwind -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
