Yeah, KDE is using QT which is not fully free. Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio Life is about experiencing ...

Neither - I use WindowMaker and no DE because both KDE and Gnome take up such massive system resources that anything short of a new high end PC sucks ass running them. (begin rant) I have tried them on on 4 different machines at work (computers ranging from 350Mhz to 700Mhz CPU's) and on my 1Ghz at home (running natively, off a LiveCD, and in VMWare). All of my experiences have been an exercise in frustration with how shitty the core UI performance is. A 1Ghz CPU should be MORE than enough to have a nice snappy UI with absoultely NO lags. This is not the case. Hell I can run Win98 or Win2K in VMWare (on Win2k as a host) with total system RAM on the host at around 400Mb, and in this mode thigns work fine, a little lag but nothing major - I can even develop in VC6 in vmare! Try running Kdevelop in this fashion and things just screech to a halt. As I said, my system (or a system comparable to it, like my G4) has more than enough resources to provide a great/decent UI experience (or at least a reasonably snappy one). Win2k can do this, OSX can do this, as far as I am concerned linux DE's utterly SUCK at this. (rant over) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

No, Miguel is using it, too, I guess :-) -- - Free Windows-based CMS: www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - See me: www.magerquark.de - MSN Messenger: uwe_keim@hotmail.com
Well, he's kind of forced. I'm sure he uses KDE when nobody's looking. :) -- Booohoo!

You can turn off a lot of bells and whistles on low end machines you know. It helps a lot. At least on KDE it does. :) -- Booohoo!

Yeah I am sure I could, but the I just don't feel like farting around with it. And my point still remains - a 1Ghz CPU with ~400Mb Ram should be more than enough to handle a decent UI experience, with readable text. But it's not. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Just check the web site. Trolltech offers two main types of licenses, OSI approved and Commercial. Yes, QT is GPLed. Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio Life is about experiencing ...

I know they offer two types of licenses. But I don't see how the commercial makes the free one any less free. :confused: They've just secured a legal way to ensure that nobody rips them off, which I can fully understand. Heck, even RMS has come out of his tiny closet admitting that Qt is "free". -- Booohoo!
