TDE - *as it stands* - therefore boots up in a reasonable amount of time, applications start up in a reasonable amount of time, and KOffice is, for example, extremely useable. TDE basically, because it has *NOT* quotes moved forward quotes, is perfectly matched for the capacity and capabilities of low-power systems. l. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-devel-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-devel-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
