1. I didn't whacht it.

2. but, I open my big mouth :

I really like linux, but I hate the way KDE copies winblows behavior, style, look, whatever.

I use linux, because, is different, more the way I think, and really hate winblows and its look & feel (nd stupidizing attitude). Why they copy !?!.

I just don't understand it. The tree button on the right of this ff window look exactly like the ones in w9x... (I'll end installing WIndowMaker here also...)

If I want something that looks like... I'll rather use the original.

For a while I used the BeOS look&feel, but in my main machine at home, I have the openstep derived WindowMaker, faster, simply faster than kde. (I don't get custom to gnome, and think that is too bloated).
btw, the idea that a browser should also be a files browser is odd. If I what a file browser, mc is my solution.

I remember the old linux days when fmw95 existed, why, I just keep me asking why ?!.

I know moco$oft also copies a lot from linux, but copying back... please no more ! (Or I'll have to switch to MacOSX!)
(Or make an amiga accelerator powerful enough to run todays apps....)

just my thoughts.  :-P

Novell had some experience with X servers due to their port of XFree86 to Netware (in ver 5.0, 1998/9), may be was the same team, may be not, I just wonder how much they have to modify it to make it run, Netware had memory protection starting in that version. A bit late to try to convert it in an application server, though

I tested the livecd offered, and looks quite fancy. Iwas just wondering how much cpu meeds. Moving a window around maxes the cpu, but in Xgl was not the case.
