1. My compiled software is exclusively C, not C++ or anything else.
Out of interest why is that? Anyway I thought the Linux kernel was C++.
I tried GPE on my Zaurus, but it was very inefficient and difficult to use. Opie was just so much more suited to a palmtop. GPE also seemed a bit slow to me.2. KMail was the only KDE app that I really liked - KDevelop stinks for C and/or large projects. (See Debian bug #323090) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323090 KMail has now got too fussy for it's own good and I don't like all the fluff (a common criticism of all things KDE). 3. Even my embedded code revolves around the Gnome Palmtop Environment, not Opie (from KDE).
What sort of embedded software are you into?
4. I've found sufficient extensions and themes for FireFox and TBird to get the functionality I need with none of the fluff.
I agree, but GTK apps never look really good.
I know KDE is somewhat inefficient eye-candy bloatware, but it just works better out of the box for me. I tried gnome, but gave up as soon as I found there was no simple way of making all the icons a sensible size- why are they so big? Why are they resized individually, out of scale and per pixel?5. Functionality is more important than eye-candy. Gnome is the natural home for those of a similar disposition.
I'm not really sure how we got here, or where it's going. Just my 2 cents. Simon - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe. FAQ: www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
