More stuff I picked up today:
-Apache configuration looks great, it has everything I need in it - I
don't have to recompile to put PHP3. Now, how about Zope? ;-) I do
think however that the httpd.conf is possibly overkill; I mean, this is
an ISP class configuration for mostly single users/developers... 10
daemons? Woahhh...
-I get a constant repeating warning in my Apache error_log:
[Sun Jan 2 18:14:52 2000] [notice] [client 127.0.0.1] Midgard: host

-The refresh rate sucked at 1280, so I went to 1024x768. Looks great
now, but I have this bug that's been following since I first used KDE:
The buttons on the titlebar on the right (minimize, maximize, close)
disappear outside of the screen now that I changed resolution. Not very
practical and user-friendly; I have to use the manual resize everytime.
Big boo boo!
-it would be nice to put the public_html dir with proper permissions in
the user /etc/skel. Useful for users who don't want to fiddle around;
same could be said for an automatic Samba share subdir as
interoperability is usually the first thing you want to show off on a
MS network and it is not very obvious to configure as it is now (ah,
for the day when I can right now in the file explorer and share...).
-The courier font seems to have problems at size 14
and up in at least kedit (pattes de mouche)... Strangely, it looks
great in Netscape. Not the same font?
-The KDE background could be cooler. How about some self-promotion for
Mandrake?
-There should be some option in the install with warnings or "do not
install" for software that are not yet even 1.0...
-I have to say, more impressive then I first thought. Apart from the
quirks in the install, the tons of extraordinarily not useful software
that got installed (The Tea Cooker? kpilot?) and the lack of support
for
newer hardware (the usual curse for Linux!) Mandrake will stay my
preferred distrib... Now, for the day when we'll have
Xfree4.0+KDE2.0+kernel 2.4 ;-) It would be cool it there was some
hardcore experimental iso out there with 2.3, Mozilla, Xfree 3.9 and
stuff like that...
I'll continue testing it, can't wait to try the beta-2
thanks,
