(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.
