Hi,
Please all cool down and remember that Timothy Pearson is providing infrastructure, internet and power-hungry servers for TDE.
which is worth respecting and appreciating.
i trust, timothy (if you're reading this) that you're not going to be handing over the domain name?
Even if he does not participate actively on TDE anymore, what he provides is still of great value, probably of a few hundreds of dollars per months. Please consider TDE to be in maintenance mode, with changes made only to make it still work on newer linux systems.
that's precisely why i recommend it for my clients, as it is *not* modified / enhanced / feature-upgraded and so on. my clients are *specifically* used to KDE 3.5 and it would be an unmitigated disaster for it to be "upgraded".
(please don't talk to me about the top-posting thing, as I can't do anything else with this ms outlook account. I already proposed the idea of having a forum instead, but it was promptly rejected. But a forum would have avoided the top-posting issues...)
forums for software development typically result in it being swamped by AOL-style "metoo" postings... they're suitable for shallow "end-user" conversations and utterly insane for technical development.
