Hi Aly, hi kdewomen,

well, Holland ;-) was really good. We had a lot of fun together. Agnes, Lars, 
Heike, Zander and I where there. Annma couldn't come :-(( but hopefully I'll 
meet here at the CeBIT first time, which is really great.
I hope that we will have some pictures on our pages soon.

Sorry, I promised too much... I had a look on the CD from linuxtag, but there 
is no material from Rik :-((

yes, the pentium-optimized kernel works for AMD as well.

All risk processors are much better and most of them (if not all) are 64bit. 
The preformance test (specs) say, that alpha is much better than others. 
There are several computing clusters, that use alphas. My boyfriend has two 
alpha computers, but he has some trouble compiling things due to bad code and 
the 64bit architecture. Yes - QT and KDE have their problems as well ;-)

We have Ultra Sparc here at work, but they are pretty slow, but very stable. 
I don't know about the new Ultra Sparc III, but I heard, that it still is 
slower than an alpha. Anyway, it is far too expensive to have it at home.

So the good thing about Pentiums and AMDs is, that they are cheap (well, 
cheaper than others) and that they are the main linux platform, that nearly 
every developer works on. So with linux you can expect less problems there. 
Unfortunately some network implementations such as NFS and automount are not 
very good, which was a great surprise after working with Solaris before :-(

At the moment I am mainly working on a project I just started. It is called 
QXmlConfig and is for writing Configuration Files in XML format. The idea is 
to have XML-Templates that give the configuration dialog and I decided to 
have the ui-Format of the QT Designer for the templates. So you can make the 
templates graphically with the designer.
I need this for a command line app (an algorithm) at work, that I want to 
give a GUI to. Or better - a GUI that can configure, start the app and read 
the log files. And since I have several config files, I'd thought I better 
write a flexible QT app for all kinds of programs instead of  writing 4 
specialized tools (I am kind of lazy...)

Are you coding at the moment? 

Greetings,
eva
