Hard to imagine... LInux appllication are bigger than windows. As i know flash player 10 beta is 3.7 mb for linux and 1.7 mb for windows? 3.7 - 1.7 = 2.0MiB two times bigger. Might be the adobe developers are not familiar with linux or they don't know programming or they pasted same code two times or so to create flash player for linux. As i tested it worked for mozilla only neither for Opera or nor Konqueror. although it's a Beta. A lots of bug with flash player , last time windows was hacked due to flash player's vunarabilities. So why not to give off flash or Silverlight to something new bigger and greater and perfect in some extent. The ultimate HTML5 + svg plasmoids with script support + phonon media streaming. This is Kde/Qt part what from GNOME or microsoft or adobe or any?
Soft to think.. In fact linux application mostly never provides libraries so they are too small, The XMMS is less than 700KiB, same thing in windows will be more than a MiB with libraries it need. Linux application are extreamly smaller without libraries. I don't think giving every application with attached libraries is good in linux, cuz it's a way to create much more vunarabilities. I don't recommend to give application with libraries. Windows and Mac provides libraries with their application but why not Linux? Might be windows crashes much with non supported libraries with in them. Even mac crashed if you did a wrong update. but what about linux? it crashes very least in stable and crashes the Most (world record in crashing) in unstable. The things behind this post is also why not to provide libraries with application like Mac and Windows in linux too? regards Ujwal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
