I've seen them take a single comment from a developer and write a whole article about who the entire linux desktop is on the edge of a cliff poised to jump. Reading through the comments is pretty silly. One guy is complaining that we didn't support Lenny. That is an irrational request since the libraries and programs are ancient. Did he upgrade to a more modern distribution? no. These arguments are always rather flawed. Nevertheless the TQT auto-naming issues are slightly embarrassing. But hopefully mostly resolved. and stability issues? Mostly resolved with 3.5.13.1 Get 3.5.13.1 out. Restore honor to the family! Calvin
