>>KDE Beta2
I been running Beta 1 as my main desktop for weeks now. I like it lots
- cept it seems to memory leak over the long run, so a shutdown of X
every week or so is necessary. There are also various annoying minor
bugs. I haven't installed Beta 2 yet cause I want to build it from
source this time and see what the code looks like. All in all, I am
very excited about KDE. (also check out Gnome at: http://www.gnome.org)
Right now my desktop is on a 21" NEC, with xearth in the background, and
kswarm as my screensaver. Usually have the kmixer and kscd up playing
tunes, netscape open, xemacs running. Plus now I got Oracle 7.3 running
via iBCS, so I might have a sql*plus sessions going, which looks very
familiar to database/programmer types. I show windows users this setup
and they say WOW! What's THAT! Then I tell them the box is dual Ppro
SMP, never crashes (well, except when Oracle chews up all my swap),
etc... and they're totally blown away.
I agree - this is indeed the kind of thing that will make click.droll
users jump ship. Viva Linux!!!
