From kde-promo Sun Jan 25 09:34:52 2004 From: =?iso-8859-1?q?G=E9rard_Delafond?= Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 09:34:52 +0000 To: kde-promo Subject: [kde-promo] Nice article about KDE Message-Id: <200401251034.52983.gerard () delafond ! org> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-promo&m=107502332911248 http://www.ninenines.org/dot/dot.html (about Linuxworld, NY) The KDE people really impressed me. At one point one of them wanted to show me how you can write simple javascripts to create full KDE apps or dock applets. He didn't have it installed though, so he decided to download it from the net; there was a compatibility problem with the binary, so he pulled the code from CVS; he didn't want to wait for a long compile, so he decided to use the other processors on the LAN, but to do that he needed icecream; he pulled that from CVS... All this was done at a fast and furious pace, he had 10 or 12 shells running at the same time, was bouncing between them; other developers stuck their heads in: "which shell is patching...?" Development in action. It was cool. ... In KDE, you can now make a "Universal Sidebar" which show directory trees of any and all your main locations in a sidebar on the desktop. It has a really innovative and intuitive feel to it... ... Once the KDE work on FUSE is done, you should be able to, for example, boot from Knoppix or Mandrake Move and mount an SSH server and use that as your $HOME directory. This means that you will soon be able to boot your entire environment from any PC with an Internet connection with no setup.
