KDE takes stand on OOXML; GNOME dithers
,----[ Quote ]
| Three cheers for the developers and management of the K Desktop Environment.
| They have taken a principled stand on the divisive issue of OOXML, the
| Microsoft Office Open XML document format. And for this the KDE folk deserve
| a round of applause.

KDE 4: like a dream on 256Mb/1Ghz/Intel!
,----[ Quote ]
| And I was pleasantly surprised with how well it all works. With a "debugfull"
| build from SVN. With kwin_composite 3d eye candy, on Intel. With KDE 3
| libraries loaded too (for KPowerSave, since it's not ported yet). As they
| like to say here in Franconia, it's like "a'Traum".

The Road to KDE 4: SVG Rendering in Applications
,----[ Quote ]
| Since KDE 4 development is in full swing with plans for a KDE 4.0
| release sometime later this year, I thought I'd put together a
| weekly piece entitled The Road to KDE 4. The idea is to have a
| short overview of one or two of the features that show progress
| in KDE 4. For my first issue, the goal is to show off some of
| the great SVG work that has taken place so far.

UbuntuLite - for older computers and light use users
,----[ Quote of quote ]
| The idea of Ubuntu Lite is to bring the power of Ubuntu across to
| the users of Legacy systems. So not just to make a small linux as
| this has been done before (Puppy Linux, Damn Small linux, the Rule
| Project). Nor to make a useable linux based desktop Operating system
| (that has been done with Ubuntu Linux, Beatrix) The idea is to bring
| the power of Ubuntu to the typical users of Legacy hardware (ie the
| grandma who gets an old P2 set up for her but does not know how to
| use it).
