We'd sure love to! The problem is, we don't have a clue how to do it =). If anyone else is capable of programming the KDE/GNOME side of this extension, we would welcome the help. For now, a good tool for tray minimizing on Linux is KDocker. It works for all NET WM compliant window managers, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce and many more.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Server all share the base (kernel, low level programme mes). This means you can install any of them on any other. GNOME is the default desktop for Ubuntu. It can also be installed with the ubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Ubuntu, please see Ubuntu on the desktop. KDE is the default desktop for Kubuntu. It can also be installed with the kubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Kubuntu, please see Kubuntu.

Yes it is. But we do not recommend this option unless your hardware is powerful enough. Meaning you probably could install any current Linux distribution.

Many people have requested a Linux and a Mac version of WorldFlash. Thanks for the response, however at this time we're only supporting Win95/98/NT/2k/ME/XP. When there is more to report on the progress of the ported programs, it'll be announced at this web site. to top

Linux runs on almost every general-purpose computer made in the last 10 years. It runs on systems as small as PDAs (for example, the Sharp Zaurus) and on systems as large as IBM mainframes. There are Linux distributions specifically for mobile and handheld platforms. Information on the Linux distribution for the Compaq iPAQ is at http://www.handhelds.org.

KDE is easy to work with and has many useful features and well-integrated components such as the PIM package (Personal Information Manager). Additionally, KDE is probably easier for people that used Windows before, but this is rather a nice side-effect than a main reason for this choice.

Initially, Freespire will be built around the KDE environment, but again, being a community project, it's certainly conceivable that GNOME variations will emerge over time. However, it's important to know that Freespire believes in using "best of breed" applications in the default distribution, so you will find both GTK and KDE based programs in Freespire, and you can swap applications in and out using CNR or apt-get.

Start the live system in qemu: qemu -m 256 -cdrom debian-live/binary.iso -boot d -redir tcp:4222:10.0.2.15:22 Change everything you need (e.g. add icons to desktop, change background, set preferences). Compress and copy the /home/user from the live system to your host (using tools like scp). Then include that directory under config/chroot_local-includes. In that directory you must have a "./home/casper" directory structure. After that, it is necessary to make the correct owner start KDE.

The association feature specifically requires libgnomevsf-2.so. If this library is not present, associations are not supported.

The Gnome and KDE desktop environments can get into such a state that they either won't start or start more-or-less uselessly. Or you may just have configured a miserable combination of fonts, colours and desktop images and want to start afresh. In either case, it's simply a matter of logging out, renaming the configuration folder(s) and starting the desktop again. Note that when you reset your configuration, you will lose all customizations made under those environments.

Yes. We are actually very close to a beta release of our new Linux version! It's working very well already. After we've done the Linux version we might look into a Mac version, but that's not decided yet. This seems to happen with Windows 2000 and XP. It's a known 'issue' with the Wacom drivers and Windows Wintab. The best work-around is to disable 'Show Web Content' from the Active Desktop settings in Windows.

Evolution is a Gnome application and should normally work perfectly under KDE if you have the required Gnome libraries installed. If you start Evolution under KDE from shell/console/terminal prompt/commandline and get errors about QPixmap and QPainter, it is very likely a theme problem. Try to not use gtk-qt, try a different theme under KDE.

Current implementations with graphics support are available for Unix (including Linux) and Windows. The Unix implementation also runs on Darwin, the Macintosh development environment, or the Cygwin environment under Windows. Older versions of Icon are available for some other systems. An alternative Java-based implementation for Unix, Jcon, is also available.

In general, any modern Unix-compatible platform should be able to run PostgreSQL. The platforms that had received explicit testing at the time of release are listed in the installation instructions. PostgreSQL also runs natively on Microsoft Windows NT-based operating systems like Win2000, WinXP, and Win2003. A prepackaged installer is available at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller. MSDOS-based versions of Windows (Win95, Win98, WinMe) can run PostgreSQL using Cygwin.

Developing, internationalizing, localizing, and testing software is expensive. For this reason, when there was a choice in Sharif Linux between different pieces of free software providing the same functionality, we needed to choose only one. For example, between OpenOffice.org Calc and Gnumeric, we chose Calc because of its better support for Microsoft Office documents.

Yeah, use the configure option --enable-kde. This ensures that KDE tray icons will appear in the slit.

Yeah, use the configure option --enable-gnome. This enables the Gnome hints. In Fluxbox versions 0.1.12 and later this is the default. Simply link your ~/.blackboxrc to your ~/.fluxbox/init, for example with this command: $ ln -s ~/.fluxbox/init ~/.blackboxrc

For best results please use FireFox 1.0 or higher, Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Netscape Navigator 7 or higher, or Mac OS X Safari. All of these browsers provide excellent Java? technology support, including quick load times and fast calculations. We also test our applets on a wide variety of platforms. Operating systems supported includes Windows 2000, Windows XP Home & Professional, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, X Windows and Linux.

We support Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support). This is the 'enterprise' version of Ubuntu and is officially supported by Canonical, the commercial arm of Ubuntu (this version will be supported by them for the next 3 - 5 years). When the next release candidate of "LTS" is available we will support it; the next candidate is likely 18 - 24 months out. There are newer versions of Ubuntu (eg 6.10) available in their community but we do not support or test against them.
