KDE4, a desktop with appeal
On newsforge:

I remember looking for such an app, ‘Adobe PhotoAlbum alternative’, some time ago, and I didn’t find anything decent back then.
Software Freedom Day
Yep, there exists such a thing 🙂 even in Belgium! I think it’s very important that students learn to know and use Open Source software, so I hope some will show up!
