Ging is now using KDE 3.4 as its desktop. Includes a lovely fit together mixture of KDE and GNOME apps: Konqueror, Gimp, Koffice, Gaim... There are even a few SDL-based games featuring penguins! (who'd be afraid of such a nice animal..). For those around who have tried previous versions of Ging, you'll be greatly pleased to see the boot time has decreased by a factor of ~15 times. Meet the developers on #gnu-kbsd on freenode (irc.gnu.org).
what an amazingly bizarre and cool combination. btw this also interesting:
crosshurd uses apt and a bit of black magic to setup a functional Debian system. It supports the following target systems: - linux-gnu (GNU/Linux) - gnu (GNU/Hurd) - kfreebsd-gnu (GNU/kFreeBSD) - knetbsd-gnu (GNU/kNetBSD)
The article has a link to an ISO, but there is no source code, and there is no offer, good for three years, to supply source code. That's a violation of both the GPL and the LGPL. Now, I know that the GING people are good guys and all, but they aren't helping the developer community by making life difficult; presumably many packages needed to be ported.
Unfortunately, many distros are similarly sloppy about the GPL.
Next time read the GPL FAQ to see what the requirements are: the information about how to get the source has to accompany the binaries. Every time.
It's all here.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
