Indeed, seems that people start new distributions without any sane release process in mind. Many people that make their distro obsolete after one year or so (and thus harm users like you), piss off Microsoft's for releasing service packs and maintaining backward compatibility... ;) What's left? At least Fedora provides good updates, not to mention SUSE - I've just updated "download" section for Fedora. The two distros are company-based, that's maybe an important factor. In the same time (checked today), Mandriva is dead for us - offers Kexi 1.0 beta. Thanks for your interest. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek Sponsored by OpenOffice Polska (http://www.openoffice.com.pl/en) to work on Kexi & KOffice: http://www.kexi-project.org, http://www.koffice.org KDE3 & KDE4 Libraries for MS Windows: http://kdelibs.com, http://www.kde.org _______________________________________________ Kexi mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
