Pathetic?

Some of us don't need to have the highest performing chip on the planet. Some of us just want something better than we had, and don't want to break the bank doing it. Since AMD came...

The second-to-last time I did a Gentoo install (on my just-wiped-clean Thinkpad), I did it from a Kubuntu livecd. The last time I did a Gentoo install, it was soon after I assembled my new tower and...

Glad I wasn't the only one put off by that remark. When I read it, all I could think to myself was "huh, I didn't know they died. Especially since I installed it a mere three months back on one of...

@drag:
sorry that I mixed up the specification with the reference implementation. my mistake, though I hope you understand it's an easy one to make for non-developers.

Maybe it was a little vague. What I was getting at is the following:

1) regardless of the toolkit/libraries used, the Moblin UI is substantially different than Gnome. Even the "normal" Ubuntu...

how, exactly, does one combine Gnome and dpkg with a special Clutter-based UI and RPM?

I don't know what, exactly, it is that you did with KDE 3.5, but as of 4.2 (to say nothing of 4.3) the vast majority of the functionality is back. Just because things are accomplished in a different...

Yay! My overlay is finally out of limbo! (the kde-testing overlay has been looking for 4.3.0 tarballs since 4.3 was tagged, even though all the mirrors had 4.3.98)

4.3 really shaped up to a solid...

My brother bought himself a new Core i7 rig, and his old Athlon64 setup turned into an attempt at a HTPC. We threw in an MSI GeForce 9400GT, installed Ubuntu, added the XBMC ppa, then set about...

My brother and I just bought GeForce 9400GT's, and they work beautifully. The pragmatist in me forgives the closed-source blob on the grounds that I didn't have to fsck with it. The idealist in me...

I was planning on going AMD when I went AM3 anyway (nevermind that they're practically the only game in town for that), but this is icing on the cake.

Keep up the good work!

I saw that on the Gentoo wiki, but I also noticed I had to unmask Portage to use the split packages. That seemed a bit too adventurous for me. Maybe in another couple days I'll give it a...

Sounds like Linux kernel + stripped down X.org (maybe Wayland?) + network management of some sort + web browser = Google...

yeah... I tried getting KDE 4.3 to play on my Gentoo install, and was mostly successful. I pretty much followed the guide on techbase.kde.org, and got it compiled and running, but a) Konqeror and...

only problems I've had are Plasma imploding and taking Dbus and KDM with it (only once), and the panel/notifications not being translucent again after toggling compositing off and on. Other than...

I wouldn't mind checking it out, if only to see what how it performs. Gstreamer (via Dragon Player [Phonon] and Elisa/Moovida) couldn't handle DVD playback on my AthlonXP 2600+. Maybe an "official"...

running UNR with ext4 partitions on the Aspire One.

Yes, I know the SSD is a cheap piece of (durable) crap. I know that hurts the performance. The database itself may or may not have issues on...

Whose packages were you using? Not all KDE 4.2's are created equal. I used the openSUSE Build Service for my packages, and I never ran into that problem. Just-started programs (whether by krunner,...

On most of my rigs, I agree. My old AthlonXP and my Thinkpad T60 handled it just fine. My K10 rig is completely unphased by it. On those rigs, no complaints.

On my Aspire One, though... that...

It's not the type of database they use that I have a problem with, it's that a web browser needs one at all. I guess their new-for-3.x address bar features are kind of nice, but I hardly ever use...
