KDE4 User Review : better than expected !!!

I have been waiting for KDE4 for a while already.... And now it has gotten much closer to the goal and it's time for a real survival test...

Due to my old computer slightly lacking horsepower, I recently switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu. tried Gnome for a little while but wasn't for me, really. Then I installed kubuntu-desktop and followed the quick steps shown on kubuntu.org about KDE4 rc2. Really easy install...

From KDE 3.5.8 I could already see many applications in the menu which had got duplicate for their KDE4 counterpart letting me try them from within my desktop. but on the early morning of December 26th, without knowing if it would work at all, I decided to give the already installed KDE4 a try. Without expecting much it shine onto my screen promptly.

Fired up, I am looking at what is to become the next best and most popular desktop on the planet. Let see what Santa-san has in store... read on for more details ...

KDE, the world famous open source desktop environment is now 10 years old. WOW.

Matthias Ettrich's 14th October 1996 announcement original post

It's the great moment for KDE right now, KDE 3.5.5 just got released. The most powerful and stable release ever. and KDE 4 is just around the corner. KDE4 Beta Packages already available for Mac OS X and for Linux

I think its a great time to watch screenshots and try it out (Kubuntu, Sabayon) and get involved

KDE Happy 10 years and we wish you another good 10 years.

Microsoft Windows Tech Tips #1

Posted by Mathieu Jobin Sat, 23 Sep 2006 08:41:00 GMT | no comments

I got it. I finally understood this quickly aging 2001 Microsoft Windows XP system. No more regular 6 months reinstallation. I am currently using my windows system and the famous firefox webbrowser to write this blog post. Although I installed it more than a year ago, its still amazingly stable. The solution ? Everyone is listening ?

Simple, If a Windows system usually last about 6 months or close to 180 days of uses. I just use my windows system only one day every 1 or 2 months. This way, my windows can potentially last 180 to 360 MONTHS !!!! Is this not very super crazy amazing!?!?!. Its more than enough long to survive before Apple Leopard comes out (Spring 2007).

In the mean time, If you wonder what to use the other 27-30 days of the months. Get yourself a copy GNU Kubuntu Linux. It's very inexpensive and definitely worth every penny you'll invest in this operating system.

comments very welcome.
