Power & Memory Usage Of GNOME, KDE, LXDE & Xfce
,----[ Quote ]
| Xfce, LXDE, and other desktop environments
| are often referenced as being lighter-eight
| Linux desktop environments than KDE and
| GNOME, but what are the measurable
| performance differences between them?
| Curious how much of a quantitative impact
| the GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE desktops have
| on netbook systems, we carried out a small
| set of tests to look at the differences in
| memory usage, battery power consumption, and
| thermal performance.

Manage your projects with KPlato
,----[ Quote ]
| KPlato is one of those tools that could
| easily get overlooked â but certainly
| shouldnât. KPlato is project management tool
| that offers more features that many similar
| tools costing significantly more money
| (since KPlato is free â thatâs fairly easy
| to figure out). KPlato was created with the
| intention of managing moderate to large
| projects using multiple resources, time
| constraints, and dependencies. KPlato
| features various GANTT charts, and tasks can
| be organized in different ways. Simply put,
| if you are looking for an outstanding
| project management tool, KPlato might be the
| perfect match.
|
| [...]
|
| There are tons of features offered by KPlato
| â many of which will only be appreciated by
| those deeply familiar with project
| management tools. But even those without a
| deep understanding of such tools can take
| advantage of KPlato. Itâs an outstanding
| tool that can give a business (or home) a
| solid project management tool without having
| to spend any of your fiscal resources to
| implement.

What should be the colours of Gnome-Terminal?
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, our big question, what should be the
| colour? seems to be solved. But I still
| think that people hardly care about what
| ergonomics says. Common! we are linuxers, we
| are always curious to find new and better
| things. Although, I think that gnome devs
| probably knew that someday, someone will
| raise a finger on this issue, and so they
| made the terminal theming highly
| customizable.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, & Xubuntu Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| With Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu each deploying a different
| desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, and Xfce respectively), how
| do each of these distributions compare performance-wise? We
| have taken two systems -- one with dual Intel Clovertown
| processors and the other an AMD Sempron -- and tested out
| each of these distributions in some of our commonly used
| Linux benchmarks to see how the performance truly stacks up.
| In this article we will be presenting part one of our results.

KDE 4 : The Lightest Desktop Yet ? My Experience with KDE 4.0.x
,----[ Quote ]
| While using KDE 4.0.4 I never faced hangs due excess Memory usage or
| sluggishness in the DE/OS response.. KDE 4 is fast . .The Menu,Applications
| opened pretty quickly.. The system was quite zippy and responsive... For few
| seconds I was confused that this is KDE 4 or Gnome ? To confirm the Memory
| and CPU usage I opened the System Monitor and I was shocked to see the
| results !!!
