Re: KDE2 release schedule update
by Jim on Monday 02/Oct/2000, @06:11

I tried to install KDE2 beta whatever under Mandrake 7.1, it didn't work. When KDE 1.x came out when I made the switch from winblows to linux, and just loved KDE. It had a sytle similar to windows and made my linux learning easier. After a little while a small birdie landed on my shoulders and whispered, "hey try Gnome". So I did, and I thought "this is how Linux should be. Now I am using Helix, and it works very well, just some small problems with gmc. So everyone should use Gnome! Don't get me wrong, KDE is great, but I am a programmer coming from WinNT, and I think GTK+ blows away QT. Maybe KDE and Gnome should merge. Keep the best parts of each desktop and use GTK+. My $0.02!

One of wonderful things about Linux, is that we can all use the enviroment we want to. My own system, has KDE2.0 cvs version from Sept. 29, and is nice and stable for me, on RedHat 6.2.
And for the record, I do have the latest Helix GNOME installed as well, for GIMP, and XMMS, etc.. etc.. if you want to develop a program for GNOME, go ahead, I'll still be able to compile and run it on my system, but from within KDE2, which will quite nicely, force it to use my choice of Desktop colors, and fonts automagically ;-)
