Alien's unofficial KDE Slackware packages

Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:41:55 GMT
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.13.0 for Slackware-current! No guarantees about its useability on Slackware 14.1. I will make available the final KDE 4.12 release (4.12.5) for Slackware 14.1, in two weeks. This release includes the latest version 4.11.8 of the kde-workspace package just like was the case with the previous KDE SC 4.12. For this release […]

This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.4 for Slackware-current (it was actually compiled on Slackware 14.1 for maximum compatibility). This release does not include a version 4.12.x of the Plasma Workspaces, since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. The work done in KDE 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. I ship kde-workspace-4. […]

Pipelight: using Silverlight in Linux browsers

That is the exact title of an article which appeared on fds-team.de last august. You may have read my earlier rant about dutch schools migrating (or forced to migrate) to a Microsoft SilverLight based learning management software called Magister. A disastrous move induced by an arrogant company, which of course leaves Linux desktop users out […]
