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.
