It requires a clean install. Having installed Win7 RC in a VM, I can say that the process isn't much different from a modern Linux install (though the Win7 install takes longer).

kecskebak | I use Evolution, so it doesn't affect me, but it seems to go against the Linux philosophy of the user choosing which apps they use | Oct 20 13:47 |
oiaohm | What do you mean kecskebak | Oct 20 13:51 |
oiaohm | For years I have used mix of kde and gnome to get things done. | Oct 20 13:51 |
kecskebak | If you have a GNOME desktop, try removing Evolution | Oct 20 13:51 |
kecskebak | You cannot completely remove all the packages it installs | Oct 20 13:51 |
oiaohm | That is distribution thing. | Oct 20 13:51 |
kecskebak | It's a bit of a IE/Windows situation | Oct 20 13:52 |
kecskebak | oiaohm: So Gnome can work with no Evolution packages? | Oct 20 13:52 |
oiaohm | slackware you can always remove all of it. | Oct 20 13:52 |
oiaohm | Remember slackware also allows you to break applications if you wish. | Oct 20 13:52 |
oiaohm | Gnome can be told to use different email client. | Oct 20 13:53 |
kecskebak | oiaohm: I've been able to use a different email client with GNOME, but I've never been able to remove all of evolution's packages | Oct 20 13:53 |
oiaohm | You will find little bits here and there depend on it. | Oct 20 13:55 |
oiaohm | That have to be removed before the final packages can go. | Oct 20 13:55 |
oiaohm | gnome-panel is badly packaged in a lot of distributions. | Oct 20 13:55 |
oiaohm | So that applets that depend on evolution cannot be removed without takeing gnome-panel with it. | Oct 20 13:56 |
kecskebak | oiaohm: Thanks for explaining that - I've always wondered what the problem was | Oct 20 13:56 |
kecskebak | oiaohm: I'd always assumed it was the GNOME project itself at fault | Oct 20 13:56 |
oiaohm | Partly. | Oct 20 13:57 |
oiaohm | GNOME project default packages have it stuck that way. | Oct 20 13:57 |
kecskebak | And now Evolution has a mono dependency. Curiouser and curiouser ;) | Oct 20 13:58 |
oiaohm | Does not bother me too much I changed my core over to KDE 4.3 | Oct 20 13:59 |
kecskebak | I have always liked the usability of GNOME. I used to work on computer based training (10 years+) and from a usability point of view I think GNOME does an incredible job. | Oct 20 13:59 |
MinceR | usability dogma? :> | Oct 20 13:59 |
kecskebak | No, when you have to help loads of users who are new to computing it is not dogma - it means you can take your lunchbreaks | Oct 20 14:00 |
kecskebak | And drink less cold coffee ;) | Oct 20 14:00 |
kecskebak | My wife only ever uses a computer under protest but even she noticed how much easier GNOME was than Windows | Oct 20 14:01 |
MinceR | the kind of user who gets confused if additional functionality he doesn't use is present? | Oct 20 14:01 |
oiaohm | I jumped from kde 3.5 to 4.3 | Oct 20 14:01 |
MinceR | so did i | Oct 20 14:01 |
MinceR | though i think i'll keep kde3 around at least in a chroot | Oct 20 14:01 |

oiaohm | The stuff in the middle was had signs of being good in time. | Oct 20 14:02 |
MinceR | i miss the old search in konqueror | Oct 20 14:02 |
oiaohm | kecskebak: kde can be configured that way. | Oct 20 14:02 |
MinceR | kecskebak: i'd ask them what do they plan on doing if a new task requires additional functionality | Oct 20 14:02 |
oiaohm | Main advantage I find with KDE is the levels of intergration. | Oct 20 14:02 |
kecskebak | oiaohm: I'll take another look at KDE | Oct 20 14:02 |
oiaohm | So you need a basic email client you use kmail. | Oct 20 14:02 |
oiaohm | And so on. | Oct 20 14:03 |
MinceR | also, if they really used on their first day of computer usage all the functionality they use now | Oct 20 14:03 |
kecskebak | MinceR: The users I used to deal with didn't think like that | Oct 20 14:03 |
oiaohm | When the day comes and you find you need a full PIM you load up kontact and everything is ready to go. | Oct 20 14:03 |
oiaohm | The intergration that you can progressively expand is what I like about KDE. | Oct 20 14:03 |

MinceR | meanwhile klipper and kteatime run fine on the gnome systray | Oct 20 14:08 |
oiaohm | Because they are coded in plasma | Oct 20 14:08 |
MinceR | huh? | Oct 20 14:08 |
MinceR | plasma applets are supposed to be coded in plasma, but not tray applets | Oct 20 14:09 |

MinceR | yes it is | Oct 20 14:10 |
oiaohm | Plasma is designed as a framework. | Oct 20 14:10 |
MinceR | it's a systray applet because it will run in any systray, whether that's provided by plasma, gnome-panel or some random window manager | Oct 20 14:10 |

oiaohm | There is really one room for one. | Oct 20 14:17 |
oiaohm | So kwin plasma merge then resplit. | Oct 20 14:17 |
MinceR | that's like saying "there are so many processes, but there's only room for one" | Oct 20 14:18 |
MinceR | they could split the theme engine into a library. | Oct 20 14:18 |

MinceR | and losing most of the flexibility of the gnu/linux desktop | Oct 20 14:18 |
oiaohm | No its not MinceR | Oct 20 14:18 |
MinceR | yes it is, if i can't choose my window manager, desktop manager and panel separately | Oct 20 14:19 |
oiaohm | Its simpler to split a common theme lib out. | Oct 20 14:19 |
oiaohm | If you can get everyone on the same page. | Oct 20 14:19 |
oiaohm | And simplest way to do that is temporay merge them into 1 project. | Oct 20 14:19 |

oiaohm | video drivers share a common backend. | Oct 20 14:22 |
oiaohm | usb based video drivers share backend with some input devices not handled by kernel. | Oct 20 14:23 |
MinceR | common backend is no excuse for the window manager to depend on the desktop manager. | Oct 20 14:23 |

oiaohm | While you do it so you can keep every alteration synced MinceR | Oct 20 14:24 |
MinceR | almost everything depends on libc - so go ahead and propose that we merge all the apps into one big blob | Oct 20 14:24 |
MinceR | not even windows is that monolithic. | Oct 20 14:24 |
oiaohm | libc is not altered from standard because if you did you would have a house of nightmares. | Oct 20 14:24 |
MinceR | and of course libc depends on the kernel, so you can put everything into the kernel! | Oct 20 14:25 |
MinceR | and then you get a system nobody can maintain. | Oct 20 14:25 |
oiaohm | kernel has a standard to userspace that don't change. | Oct 20 14:25 |
MinceR | there's a reason standard interfaces and protocols exist. | Oct 20 14:25 |
oiaohm | There are very big evil reasons for this. | Oct 20 14:25 |
oiaohm | kwin merge with plasma is because they are about to do a big possiable major trouble causing alteration. | Oct 20 14:25 |
MinceR | there's a reason for the x protocol, x11lib, xcb and there's a reason for the freedesktop standards. | Oct 20 14:26 |
oiaohm | What would be worse than a full theme failure so nothing renders MinceR | Oct 20 14:26 |
MinceR | i've never seen such failures | Oct 20 14:26 |

MinceR | for example, i'm using the qtcurve decorator for kwin | Oct 20 14:29 |

DaemonFC | I had to get a new tire, but they prorated the replacement and I only paid $40 | Oct 20 15:47 |
schestowitz | They think that if they don't pay attention to Microsoft, then Microsoft will leave them alone | Oct 20 15:47 |
DaemonFC | while I was at Walmart I went and took my blood pressure though and it was 146/90 | Oct 20 15:47 |
DaemonFC | that machine has to be wrong | Oct 20 15:47 |
schestowitz | Linus is among those people | Oct 20 15:47 |
schestowitz | 146 pulse? | Oct 20 15:48 |
DaemonFC | systolic pressure | Oct 20 15:48 |
schestowitz | You're living on the fast lane | Oct 20 15:48 |
schestowitz | Oh | Oct 20 15:48 |
DaemonFC | pressure when the heart beats | Oct 20 15:48 |
schestowitz | Pressure | Oct 20 15:48 |
schestowitz | That's high. IIRC mine was like 110 | Oct 20 15:48 |
DaemonFC | 90 was the diastolic, which is between beats | Oct 20 15:48 |
schestowitz | Can't remember though.. | Oct 20 15:48 |
DaemonFC | pulse was 76 bpm | Oct 20 15:49 |
DaemonFC | yeah, it's reading it high though | Oct 20 15:49 |
schestowitz | Overclock it | Oct 20 15:49 |
schestowitz | The EULA of life permits it | Oct 20 15:49 |
DaemonFC | they have a small cuff which is innapropriate | Oct 20 15:49 |
DaemonFC | both of those numbers should read about 10 lower | Oct 20 15:49 |
DaemonFC | that's assuming the machine itself is reading it properly | Oct 20 15:50 |
schestowitz | Underclock it then | Oct 20 15:50 |
schestowitz | Just don't forget the screwdriver in your rib cage :-) | Oct 20 15:50 |
DaemonFC | I don't really trust automatic blood pressure machines | Oct 20 15:50 |
schestowitz | Pace makers? | Oct 20 15:50 |
DaemonFC | no, those blood pressure machines that doctors offices use now | Oct 20 15:51 |
DaemonFC | don't trust them | Oct 20 15:51 |
cubezzz | why not? | Oct 20 15:51 |
DaemonFC | it's not uncommon for them to be high or low by a significant margin | Oct 20 15:51 |
DaemonFC | the size of the cuff being wrong only adds to that problem | Oct 20 15:52 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't accept a hypertension diagnosis based on just that | Oct 20 15:53 |
cubezzz | schestowitz, of course Microsoft should be watched as I've said before | Oct 20 15:53 |

wallc | I realized this morning that, even after two years away from Windows, I am still (apparently) suffering from "Windows-itis". It's a common infirmity that targets ex-Windows users. | Oct 20 17:04 |
wallc | Its symptoms include the expectation for everything to be FAR more difficult than it needs to be. Causing the "Windows-itis" sufferer to feel uneasy, distrustful, and confused when faced with actual (possible) simplicity. | Oct 20 17:04 |

wallc | ok, here's the problem...my old "wallclimber" irc nick stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I had never registered it, so it was my own fault. However, I'd like to register now. And yes, I have read the registration instructions over and over again on the Freenode FAQ page. | Oct 20 17:07 |

schestowitz | There's also silence id gold, but that's opposite | Oct 20 17:08 |
wallc | My confusion is that the FAQ does not clearly say where, exactly, to put the nick and email information. I'm sure it must be quite simple and obvious (I mean, even trolls can apparently figure it out, right?) | Oct 20 17:08 |
schestowitz | wallc: I registered just once, I can't remember how | Oct 20 17:08 |
wallc | But, as an ex-Windows user, I keep looking for a secure registration page, or a "wizard" of some kind...it's ok to laugh), but I'm thinking that (maybe?) the information just goes into the chat box...is that correct...is it really something that simple? | Oct 20 17:08 |
schestowitz | Someone helped me w/ it | Oct 20 17:08 |
schestowitz | wallc: it's usually some commands | Oct 20 17:09 |
schestowitz | Where you give an E-mail address IIRC | Oct 20 17:09 |
wallc | I did try doing that once, but (to my absolute horror and profound embarrasment) I only ended up posting my nick, email and password in plain text, in front of everyone on the Ubuntu irc channel...(making a grandma-grimmace here) | Oct 20 17:09 |
