I did some further tweakeng and now I guess the boot time should be acceptable for most of us. Long story short now NimbleX 2010 Beta seems to boot on my laptop just as fast as NimbleX 2008.

OK, I know I've been quiet for a while, but this doesn't necessary mean nothing really happened :).

Truth is that I've been busy with some other projects and regarding NimbleX nothing major appeared to make a big difference for the users. I did a lot of testing and new things haven't performed well enough to worth updating.

NimbleX 2010 is still not close to be complete but today I think a pretty big breakthrough just happened.

So enough talk and let me tell you what we have now:

• brand new kernel
• most CLI things updated
• new XServer
• KDE4

A couple of weeks ago I compiled KDE 4.1.2 for NimbleX because I have to know if the switch should be made. The plain and simple answer is: not switching now. Eventually I think the switch will be made but as far as I am concerned KDE 4.1.2 is not there yet.

3 major things I didn't like about KDE 4.1.2:

• It uses a lot more resorces than KDE 3.5
• It is less user friendly than KDE 3.5
• It has more bugs than KDE 3.5

Even though NimbleX is a live-linux I see that more and more people want to use it installed on their machines and they want to save the changes they do in it. So, there are 2 very important things for the users. One is the installer and the other the saving the changes.

Now will discuss, saving the changes in a non technical manner.
I will start by telling you that I'm not saving my changes and I'm using NimbleX every day. I'm using the rootcopy only for the changes I need.

In theory, changes can be saved in 3 ways:
a) in a directory
b) in a nimblex.data file
c) in a partition

I bet I'm not the only one that's a big fan of OpenOffice. When I heard OpenOffice 3 Beta was out, the first thing I did was a quick look to see what's new and then, of course, a quick spin on NimbleX. The most important thing that will be in OpenOffice 3 is support for DOCX (The new crappy format made default in Microsoft Office 2007).
