Interestingly painless…
Download the .deb version of the Notes client from IBM
tar xfv <downloaded_archive>
unpack the Notes client and Sametime with ar x ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.i586.deb and ar x ibm_lotus_sametime-8.5.i586.deb into separate directories
unpack data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz in both directories (tar xfvz <archive>)
elevate your ego to higher levels (aka become root)
move the files in opt from the respective Notes client [...]

… is looking really great.
Just installed on my new company Lenovo T500 and so far really, really liking it. Multimedia capabilities by default are awesome, Wireless is working (I am still wondering why I had such troubles with a stock Gentoo install and the really well supported Intel 5100AGN), Font rendering is sweet. And after [...]

… absolutely everytime I install Gentoo on a machine I run into this inconvenience – on first reboot it nags loudly about modification times in the future. Rightly so, but quite annoying.
touch /etc/{conf.d,init.d}/* && touch /etc/rc.conf
and it’s gone on next boot.

… for making Notes 8.5 Beta 1 available in .deb packages. Works beautifully (well, it’s still ye’olde sluggish Notes, but hey…), looks good, good font rendering, no ‘beta-related’ crashes so far. I love you for that. Srsly. No more using that broken crap installer.
… I still hate you for creating/buying Notes tho.

… so turn it off. It seems my struggle for a really nice, good looking, crispy font configuration is never ending. But hey, guess that’s what I somehow love.

<test compare=”more” name=”weight” >

<edit mode=”assign” name=”autohint” >

in ~/.fonts.conf will do the trick and turn off the Autohinter [...]

Yeah, my distribution hopping days are over once again and I’m back on … Sidux. For the bit tech savvy there just isn’t a better distribution, if you just kinda know your way around in any xBuntu you shouldn’t have a problem handling Sidux. Just a bit more caution when doing updates, that’s it.
But…
What distribution [...]

Edit: Thanks Miguel, it’s indeed RC1+.
I was bored over the weekend. Really bored. Kinda had a little flu, so couldn’t go outside… What does one do then? Yeah, check out another distribution.
Decided to give OpenSuSE 11.0 a spin – wasn’t terribly amazed by the 10.3 release, but really curious to see what they [...]

For w/e reason they are no longer included in the official repositories – I know, I know… There are replacements around, which I use, but for work purposes you unfortunately just need them.
wget http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/scripts/fetchmsttfonts.sh
chmod +x ./fetchmsttfonts.sh
./fetchmsttfonts.sh
Done.

Will comment on it tomorrow, it’s late now… But this is well worth a read, well written and well adressed article by Sebastian Kügler on KDE 4.x.

Writing this post under KDE 4.1 Beta 2.
Downloaded the new Mandriva 2009.0 to test out their implementation of KDE 4.1 Beta 2 and boy… It rocks. Plasma is coming along and is useable now. Folderview rocks. Nepomuk integration rocks. Font rendering rocks. General looks is sexy. The whole thing flies even when under a Live [...]
