“if you don’t know what EMACS is, then, well, you are probably better off.“I would have said you’re probably better off if you don’t know what .NET is 😉 Still, if they come up with a Vi.NET project, I may just be tempted to put C# back on my CV!

“My reading of this is that Ubuntu is not going to support Kubuntu i its next release, but probably will later when KDE 4.0 not only exists but is actually stable.”My reading is that *buntu 8.04 will support also KDE, but only 3.5. As a result Kubuntu 8.04 won’t be a LTS (Long Time Support) release like Ubuntu 8.04, because security maintenance of KDE 3 will be dropped too early. Kubuntu 8.10 will probably run KDE 4, and possibly be LTS.Kubuntu isn’t dying. It’s just bad luck in timing. KDE 4 comes out at worst possible moment to be included in Kubuntu’s next LTS version.
