A bit harsh, but you are basically right on. They'll go on
for days posting bitch-mouthed responses to this. Like all
bullies they are extremely immature and can't handle criticism
at all. I'm not even going to read their garbage. Heard it all
when I was in the 2nd grade.

"KDE titsuckers" ROTFL. That about sums up most of the supposed
"gurus" on this group. Bunch of windoze-wankers pretending that
they run linux while KDE does just about everything for them.

And when it fails, they are stray and have to go running to
the real gurus. (A few of which there are, hanging out here.)

I'm sure that KDE will come up with a Mr. Clippy pretty soon.

It sure bothers me to know that I am more of a Slackware guru
than most of the "experts" on this group.

You don't need this group. If you don't use KDE, then you know
that all the linux distros are basically the same under the
hood. Under the couch-potato, appliance operator eye-candy
user interfaces like KDE.

I didn't offer any because I am completely out of stock. There are some
here who have substantial stores and may be willing to donate them to a
good^H^H^H^H questionable cause.

"You talkin' to you? You talkin' to you? You talkin' to you?
Then who the hell else are me talking... you talking to you?
Well you're the only one here.
Who the **** do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? OK."

my apologies to Paul Schrader ;-)

Kconfig doesn't have anything to do with KDE, it means Kernel-config
(and they're located within the kernel sources tree).

But the fact that the word "kernel" starts with a "k" proves that the
same group are behind them, right? and Linus has *admitted* that he uses
KDE. So you have proved that the _K_ernel is _K_evil.

So how's that "ODE" desktop coming along, Alan/Tom/Sid/John?

Has it reached a 1.0 release yet? Where is it?
