Drab and drop should be no problem, if it is implemented with a good handling of the variables. Nice idea, thanks. I will write it to the document tonight :-) |

Dec 23 2005 on news Linus recommends KDE |
You're right, linux isn't written for weak machines, but ALSO for weak machines. So again: it's not the point, if you are using KDE, Gnome or whatever, the point is what you do need, and what you do have. When I've read the comment of Linus further, he touches this subject, but all in all KDE is, imho, not worth a recommendation without compromises. I do also recommend KDE, if the parameters do fit, if not, I don't. I would never recommend something that doesn't fit to the surrounding. But this little differences are NOT reflected in Linus' way of talking, and that is the problem with the comment. |

Sorry to say that, but you missed my point.
I'll give an example:
A friend of mine once got a job as administrator at a school. He has a lot of windoows expierience but not that much in linux, so he asked me, what he could do with some Computers from 486 to Pentium 100. (That's more than some Germans schools I know do have!) I recommended using Linux (of course). He watched me installing some Debian boxes, and said, that nothing with a textbased user interface could be used, for the pupils should learn with the boxes how to use a modern Operating System.
So far so good, I installed Windowmaker, and he was lucky. But if I would have installed KDE or even Gnome you could Imagine, how slow it would have been, if it would have been run at all. So my point is, that before you recommend something, nonetheless what, first take a look what is needed, and then make a recommendation. KDE is NOT the "I-fit-on-all-tasks" enviroment, that it (sometimes) claims to be, and whoever needs to decide, what to use should keep this in mind. |

Okay, okay KDE is great, we do not need to discuss this (Yes, I'm using it too) But the comment by Linus is somehow strange. If I remember right, Linux is made for weak machines, too. And if you have not at least a Pentium II KDE is but a pain in the a**, if you know what I mean. In that case xfce or maybe Windowmaker would be a better choice. The Question, which X-Window enviroment you should use is, imho, the same as the question, which OS to use. The right answer is "The right one for the right task, besides that the one YOU like the most". It would be nonsense to recommend KDE to somebody, who is quite familiar with Gnome, as well as it would be nonsense to recommend Linux to my younger brother, for his only purpose in sitting in front of a screen, is to play the newest, fastest, etc. games.
So, let anyone who wants to use Gnome, for God's sake, use it, he (or she) does more for the popularity of Linux than any Windows user or than any little Hacker, sitting at home, don't caring at all,
P.S. Hope you did understand what I mean, my english is not that good..... |

Maybe I'm missing somthing here...
This is KDE-look and not alt.religous, is it?
So, maybe we rather speak about dsign and not about the sense und nonsense of Pentgramms, crosses, moons, wheels and so on.
All in all it's a nice, well made design, although of no use for me, for I don't use kbfx. But nonetheless well done.
P.S.
I don't care whoever may bless me, but if I look at the result in the exams, someone must have done ;) |

Your idea sounds good, but I also haven't got time to code it. If you want the vision to become reality (uhmmm I love pathtic words ;)) try the following books:
for C++ I recomand (for total Beginners)
C++ Primer, Stanley B. Lippman / Josée Lajoie / Barbara E. Moo, Addison&Wesley
for a little more advanced coders
Thinking in C++, by Bruce Eckel ( http://www.bruceeckel.com/)
and for Experts
The C++ programming language, Bjiarne Stoustrup, Addison&Wesley
(hopefully I spelled the name correctly, otherwise, sorry)
Then buy a notebook, and after shift (don't know if this is right, I was in the German Army for 9 months, there we would have said "nach Dienstschluss") read a little bit and try out. believe me, in half a year you are able to code your project by yourself.
Good luck. |
