I also think that the time doesn't stand still even we refuse to add KDE4. It isn't impossible to add it to the book. It's only a notifiable amount of new packages which needs to be analyzed.
My concerns are more about the direction the whole KDE desktop seems to go. A partition with 8G for a full featured desktop might be to small now. There are servers which adds another layer over other servers (virtuoso->mysql), there are (if i understood that dependency right) systems talking via ODBC(!) to each other, just to have a desktop. Its a fact that we need a SQL-server for a *desktop* environment! Thats what we citicized in the past on Windows, being such a heavywight system and pointed to KDE as an example for how it goes more lightwight. This time seems to be over too. Well ok, I'll do one try again to find a hint on how "Nepomuk" is built... Regards, Thomas > > -- > Cya Later, > Robert Xu > Ever tried Linux? :) Yes. I did and still do with more or less success... :-) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
