Re: KDE wins Linux Journal´s Editor Choice Award

Hi,

I'm working for a company which you'll hear lots of it on next month (specially Redhat users which we target our product to - other distro's will follow - it's market share and it's not my decision)

I have worked with BERO from Redhat Germany to make the RPM's for Redhat 6.2 (if you want to see which company I am - type: rpm -qip on the kdegraphics rpm), and I must say that the current RPM's which are avaialable on KDE FTP site for Redhat (most of them are Bero's work) are rock solid! He managed somehow to compile QT and KDELibs with Netscape plugin support without requiring motif even!

So yes, some packages sucks on other distro's (specially the RPM's which are on Mandrake 7.2), but I suggest for you to look if your Linux distribution got more updated.

You can check this by looking at the RPM filename - the last number before the .i386 is the release number of that packages. example: kdebase-2.0.0-7.i386.rpm means this rpm is on the 7th version of compiling - which means - many bugs were removed from the package.

Enjoy KDE 2- and to all KDE Developers - keep up the good work!
