I'm using Mandrake 8.1 with KDE 2.2 objprelink version for about a month now with no problems. The optimizations were superbly built-in by Texstar. I've tried Red Hat 7.3 yesterday on my friend's box with KDE 3.0. It's amazing how light and stable 3.0 performs with objprelink. IMHO, the stability question pertains to porting KDE 2.2 apps to 3.0. Not all programs have been ported, and I've heard a lot of problems with Mandrake 8.2 dual-logging in KDE 2.2 and 3.0. Red Hat's KDE 3.0 has no problem as far as I've experience. I really recommend the RPMs built by Texstar. It's kinda weird but these are sometimes built more stable and superior than the ones done by Mandrake. I've tried plenty of his RPMs, and I particularly like Mosfet's Liquid theme RPM built for Mandrake 8.1. His freetype RPMs are likewise gorgeous. Everyone thought I was bluffing. Yes, I use Mosfet's Liquid theme on my KDE 2.2. He said I don't have to wait for KDE 3.0 to have Liquid on my machine, so off he went to his labs and came back with RPMs. All for free. Wow. Mandrake 8.1, with KDE 2.2 objprelink version, with Mosfet Liquid theme, and Everaldo's Connectiva icons is a reality on my desktop. I'm proud to show that a stable desktop need not look ugly and move slowly. Envious friends like the speed jump of 2.2 objprelink version compared to the stock 2.2 on 8.1. My desktop sure moves cool and professional. People thought I have a Mac until I showed them a one-year-old beat-up AMD- K6-500mhz. I don't have to pay an arm or a leg for Windows XP or an iMac. Linux is an OS I can bet my life on for stability, customizability, and ease-of-use given the right tools, documentation, desktop environment, and friendly people like the PLUG. Minus the viruses, minus the pesky and bloated Microsoft software prices. The only reason I'm in windows now is games (slowly moving them to my Linux box. I enjoy Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena on my box so much kahit software mode lang.) and Internet access (I have a winmodem, no spare bucks for an external thing yet.). Screenshots? I have plenty. Just request me if you like. It's a pity that Mandrake never officially supports his RPMs. Where Mandrake leaves me, Texstar is there to help with his RPMs. For SUSE and RedHat users, don't feel envious. His RPMs (including SRPMs) and are there to download and install to your heart's delight. No haranguing monthly subscription fees, all for free and for everyone's enjoyment. What's more, some of these RPMs are optimized for Athlon processors. Plenty of new builds, Mozilla 1.0, Galeon, Gaim, etc..Even Mosfet himself is amazed at his speed in producing cutting-edge RPMs in a short notice. What's the catch? Wala lang! (say with Sing-Alis intonation). Building superior RPMs is his own way of contributing to the open-source community. Galing-galing talaga. I can't wait until I get his RPMs on my 8.2. The download links are on his site at www.pclinuxonline.com Please donate if you like his kewl builds and have spare cash. Tulungan naman natin, kahit papaano. Regards, Mikol PS.
