That would require someone to test both, and profile them to see
why. It also assumes they're not identical, and just different
configurations. Does Mandrake 9 use Xft2/fontconfig and Xft'd
GNOME/KDE? If not, then that very well could be your answer

I'm not even remotely a C++ programmer, and even _I_ know how to
deal with this properly.

It's an open system, and people are free to use whatever they
like, be it RPM packages, tarballs, or flipping binary switches
on a parallel port.

cument something - having never even tried to read our
manuals in the first place. We aren't going to make
RELEASE-NOTES a 20Mb file full of changes. That would just make
it even more unlikely that people would ever read it.
The proper place for this type of stuff is a complete manual, not
some README file.

who feel the opposite way of course, but you simply can't please
all of the people all of the time, and if you try to, you'll
please nobody. We need to pick our goals, and try to achieve
them. There will be bumps along the way, but I don't think there
is any possible way
wever if you
want to beta test the i845 driver support.

Synergy2 is a completley free open source software solution that
can do almost everything a KVM can do, only over the network.
One drawback being that you need multiple monitors still.

But until that point is reached, configuring
fonts in 2 places is a requirement. IMHO, the benefit is very
very much worth the slight inconvenience. Red Hat just happens
to be the first to boldly use this innovative new font
technology. And we do so, with many great thanks to Keith
Packard.

I sometimes wish the government would require people to pass
tests and get a license to use the Internet, and have a demerit

I have an ABL KVM (now owned by APC), and it works well, even
with wheel mice.

stream maintainer's releases and help accelerate it becoming
considered "stable" by him, and hopefully also accelerate an
official release.
Other alternatives are freshrpms.net, rpmfind.net, freshmeat.net
