My stats for the last 24 hours. 1.1gb up, 1.1gb down running a poor dual ISDN connection flat. Quick math tells me I'll have ADSL for only 36 hours before I get capped LOL. I just installed on VMWare for the time being as I dont have another PC. But it runs rather well. X is a bit slow though.

Linux kernel has also matured alot, so much that the sources arent even included on the cd :) They have a bunch of precompiled ones on the CD though. I rated this article 2 by mistake.

The last thing you want is a bunch of angry students after you. They can, and will, make your life miserable, if they so desire. Let the councellors tell the students that they're stupid. Let them take the heat, they're paid for it. :-D -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

That's the way to go. They'll grow, or shrink, as persons depending on how you look at it. Either way, it's good for them. To become good at something, one has to work for it. A sentiment not often found in people these days. :( -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

Yeah, I had to figure out the KDevelop 3 included is real Alpha, and there is a bug that is hopefully now fixed with the CVS checkout im doing. :wtf: I rated this article 2 by mistake.

Is KDevelop 3 any good otherwise? v1 and 2 were pretty weak.. :| -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

Just cant figure out how to set breakpoints yet :mad: I'm building the latest ver 3 CVS checkout now (no wonder people are moving to .NET, these builds take ages). The new UI layout (IDEA) is also pretty kewl, but you really need 1024x768 or above. There are many bugs still, hopefully they have fixed the annoying ones. All in all, I rate it rather good. I do miss the VS.NET integrated debugger though. I rated this article 2 by mistake. It deserves more. I wanted to get to the second page... - vjedlicka 3:33 25 Nov '02

That'll keep the compiler from doing unnecessary semantic checks which is completly a waste of time unless you're developing Kdevelop yourself.. :) You could also try building the code using paralellization tricks in make. On a uniprocessor machine, run make -j5. This'll make make run at most 5 paralell compilers. Apparently, 5 is a good number for uniprocessor systems, don't ask me why :) leppie wrote: The new UI layout (IDEA) is also pretty kewl, but you really need 1024x768 or above. You've got less than 1024x768? :~ Are you running it on a laptop or what? :) Hmm.. I think I'll boot up my debian installation and have a go at Kdevelop (if it's available as a package that is) -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

See, you're smarter already!;P Everytime I try KDevelop it's "real Alpha". Always looks cool but always seems to be half done. Josh Knox
