"Designing a user interface in GTK+ is more than understanding the basic steps presented in the last article.

"Sun quoted almost everyone but me in its press release, so at least this open source project isn't coming from left field and flopping to the ground lifeless.

(Jul 30, 2000) Editor's Note: Slashing My Wrists on the Cutting Edge It should be a simple task: installing Linux on industry-standard, yet cutting-edge laptops. But it's not, as evidenced by editor Kevin Reichard's trials and tribulations in getting X to run on a newer Sony Vaio laptop. .comment: Working Today Trumps High-Powered Vapor The KDE developers mailing list has been abuzz over an article in The New York Times saying that on Thursday IBM, Sun Microsystems, and others will throw their support behind Gnome as the standard Linux desktop. But, as Dennis E. Powell points out, this isn't a setback for KDE developers--it's an opportunity. Test Suite Heralds SGI's Growing Involvement with Linux With the release of nearly 100 test tools designed to make Linux kernel hacking easier, SGI is signalling a rapidly growing involvement in Linux by SGI. In this preview, Dennis E. Powell explains how SGI is aiming to streamline Linux kernel development through these tools, to be unveiled at this week's LinuxWorld Expo in San Jose. Preview: Netscape 6, Preview Release 2 Netscape 6/Mozilla has become the great lightning rod of the Open Source world: nearly everyone has an opinion about the yet-to-be released product. Michael Hall previews Netscape 6, Preview Release 2, and explains both its strengths and weaknesses. .comment: Help Comes From Unexpected Places It should have been simple: throw a new graphics card in a Linux system and be dazzled by the shiny new images. But, as Dennis E. Powell relates, nothing is ever quite so simple--and the end result was a journey that taught him more both about Linux and the vast number of helpful Linux users than he thought possible.
