Slackware, the Un-Buntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Once again, Slackware is supposed to be complicated and hard to manage, but
| this experience proved to be different -- and very satisfying. In the Xfce
| printer settings, I selected CUPS to manage my printing. Then I went to CUPS
| configuration in the Slackware menu.

openSUSE 10.3 Beta 3 Report
,----[ Quote ]
| It was revealed by beineri that "openSUSE 10.3 [will] not shipping KDE 4.0 as
| default KDE desktop" as previously hoped. This is probably due to the updated
| release schedule of KDE 4. I'm sure everyone's heard by now that KDE 4 won't
| be finalized until just before Christmas. They will still probably include
| the latest developmental release at least on mirrors.

Slackware: There's something totally sane about it

Preview of the 1-CD openSUSE-10.3-Beta2-KDE-i386.
,----[ Quote ]
| As far as notebooks are concerned I don't see any reasons why openSUSE
| needs to continue holding back from bundling the Intel Pro Wireless
| firmwares into openSUSE 10.3, which are even present in Fedora 7!!!! By
| the way, Boot time and shutdown time of openSUSE were fast. I was thrilled:
| the Suspend to disk and Suspend to RAM worked flawlessly on my Dell
| Inspiron 600m. The dozing- off-Tux as splash for the Suspend to disk was
| very cute.

Interview with Stephan Kulow, openSUSE Project Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| Since 1997 I have been working on the KDE project, mainly hacking libraries
| and doing release coordination. The Linux community was still pretty small
| back then, so while doing KDE releases I had good contacts with quite a few
| Linux distributions. In the summer of 1999 I was looking for a job I could do
| for two months as my girlfriend went on a long-planned US trip. Caldera had
| just introduced a graphical installer programmed using Qt and it was a very
| fascinating time helping to do a second version.
