"Here's hoping that the Gnome Foundation funds good work, and that the results are great. But those results are currently vapor. KDE2 isn't. It's not done, but it works and has for months.

"Well, that is unless it causes more Segfaults than Netscape and StarOffice combined, and is more memory hungry than encoding mp3s and listening to the latest SuperJesus album at the same time. In that case I'll install it and leave it sitting in it's cradle until the full release."
"Designing a user interface in GTK+ is more than understanding the basic steps presented in the last article. Widgets have to be selected that match the need in your application; layout has to be at least appropriate (but preferably attractive and easy-to-use). And, of course, your code should be easy to read, and thus easy to maintain (which applies to all code, not just GTK+ code)."
"One of the things that is going to come in very handy in managing user and password lists is the ability to encrypt a password. The good news is that Perl has a built-in function to do just this. It's called crypt. In order to use it, you need to understand a few things."
"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. And Sun's been smart enough not to tie StarOffice to the purchase of $75 worth of books like they did with the Solaris source code. Obviously change is in the air over in Mountain View."
They are comfortable in their superiority, and while they like to welcome new people into the fold, they do absolutely nothing to make it easier for the general public to understand and appreciate. They believe that it is not *for* the unwashed masses and that it makes the artists special to have the specialized knowledge that they do."
"The Indrema Developer Network will bring together the tools and community resources necessary to drive development of next-generation video game titles for the IES." -= Click here to change filter settings =- |

(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.
