Is it just me, or did those screenshots look a lot like Windows XP?

cactus · 2005-12-06 19:33:38

an improvement over mainline kde though. I would say that this is a "good thing" for the kde environment as a whole.

I just wish gnome was a little more "seamless"... and easier to build.

Possible. The text under the first screenshot:

Confusing system messages have been removed in all parts of the desktop environment. Forexample, the term "Administrator" is used instead of "root".

reminds me of Windows. :twisted:

Mr Green · 2005-12-06 19:37:56

Its not currently being developed

packages are small ideal for Archie ;-)

Gnome whats that ?

Gullible Jones · 2005-12-06 19:58:36

Hey, I use Gnome!

(Administrator instead of root? No good - root > admin > user.)

I think that their 'Administrator' will have all root's privileges. They are just changing the name (to do like Windows ?).

Mr Green · 2005-12-06 20:41:46

more to the point anyone built it yet?

Gullible Jones · 2005-12-06 21:23:32

From my /etc/group file:

adm::4:root,daemon

Whats that got to do with the price of fish?

cactus · 2005-12-06 21:38:06

well, you see...
Gullible posts his group file, and people view it. The computer usage required to view the content, for all those of us that look at it..adds up. Small amounts of power, the overall environmental resources required to make the computers used to view it (1 ton of material for each mobo and cpu i think i once read).

So with this depletion of global resources (power and material), fish are deprived of natural habitat. In order to still have enough fish, private fish farms are created. they churn out the fish, but the farming takes a while to turn profitable..during the initial investment phase, the price of fish goes up..

After a while, as the farm becomes more profitable and covers startup costs, the price of fish goes down...

it effects it quite a bit it turns out. o.O
just dont ask me about the price of tea in china.

iBertus · 2005-12-06 21:39:39

It looks like this has been made overly simple. I don't like it!

Mr Green · 2005-12-06 21:53:29

please remove my posts in this thread for the sake of the fish!

lucke · 2005-12-06 21:56:00

iBertus, let me assure you that cactus's statement only looks simple. If you read between the lines, it actually turns out to be oh so ZOMG complicated ;-)

arooaroo · 2005-12-06 22:02:09

I think Cactus is way off.

Power consumption will contribute to global warming. Global warming causes polar caps to melt. Global water levels rise. More room for fish, less room for humans. No need for fish farms. Price of fish remains static (in line with inflation at least)

iBertus · 2005-12-07 03:45:33

Damn... cactus beat me to the post!

AndyRTR · 2005-12-07 05:50:08

Back to topic: The devs are really lazy. When it came out we from Mandriva with Thacs from PCLinuxOS tried to package it to get it installed beside normal KDE. Their devs ignored all our questions. I see no reasons why we should package it for arch. It seems to be dead now.

Dusty · 2005-12-07 06:26:52

what's this we?

AndyRTR · 2005-12-07 07:07:34

The packager team from www.mandrivauser.de ;-)

  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Anybody tried this already??

Gullible Jones · 2006-01-09 18:05:47

Ahh... Just noticed what I said earlier on. I think I might have made an incomplete post.

At any rate, some groups can IIRC have an administrator separate from root, with special privaleges (but not as much as root). It's been a while since I looked at the relevant man pages though.
