Linus and the REAL desktop...

[Nikos Venturas]

  Perhaps one of the more interesting exchanges of the
 week occurred on the KDE bug tracking system between
 Linus Torvalds and David Faure regarding problems with
 fonts in KWord. Not only is Linus a model bug reporter
 who provides all relevant details, results of various
 experiments he conducts in an attempt to understand the
 bug and well thought out suggestions for improvements
 and fixes, he also uses CVS HEAD! It seems Linus is only
 content on the bleeding edge as he admitted, "I've been
 on the CVS tree for the last year or so now - I stayed
 on the 2.2.x branch for a while to see it stabilize, but
 it's gotten boring lately so I went back to the head
 last week.."
