Why RedHat8.0 wont have KDE ?

(1/3) > >>

Bazoukas:
Is this true? That RH wont put KDE in their 8.0?
And if so, whats the real reason for it? They want to keep alive gnome? Maybe because KDE is writen in C++?


  If this is true, that will just be stupid.  I am on RH and its what i realy wantand like. I use almost exclusivly Gnome (i think its much more practical than KDE).

  Saying that though, if there is no GOOD reason for RedHat for not putting KDE in, then that will piss me off.

 KDE is very popular and people want it and by not including it in RH8 it sends a signal of the type of which i dont like.


  I thought the whole spirit of the Penguin is to promote the BEST of ALL kinds and types of software.

  If there isnt any good reason for RH not to include KDE, then Debian is my next choice.

 Yeah, I am a romantic not a fanatic. There are such things such as being loyal and believing to an idea.
  And in the Case of the Linux Operating Systems, the idea is to share knowledge and promote the best with out using dirty bitch tactical moves.

if there is no KDE then i wont be upgrading to it or i will just install KDE afterwards. In Red Hat 7.3 they got rid of enlightenment, maybe they are slowly trying ro abolish GUIs??

Wouldn't it be funny if they went command line only?

I agree with Master of Reality. I won't be using it, unless I install KDE myself. I probably won't be using it at all...I have come to depise Red Hat recently.

KDE's best advantage: Konquerer. The equivalent of M$ Explorer (YUK!) I can browse files, the web, and open all types of compressed files in the GUI.

Dude I don't know who's been lying to you but I'm using the 8.0 beta as I write this and it has KDE 3.03!  Works very well, too.  It comes using the "red hat" bluecurve theme by default so the apps look the same, but you can easily change it back.

Red Hat is NOT a company to be despised in my opinion.  They are nothing like Microsoft, and Linux would be a lot farther behind without them.  Any company that lets you download their OS for free from their website is good in my book.

You'll like the new nautilus better than Konqueror.  It can't browse the web, (but why use Konq when you can use Mozilla or Galeon?) but it is very fast now and is very nice to look at.
