KDE Yum Repository

For anyone who’s interested, the KDE group publishes their latest versions in Yum-compatible format. This means that you can get automatic updates for KDE better than what Red Hat, Fedora, Suse, whatever provides. Just create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo, with the contents:

[kde-redhat-stable]
name=kde-redhat-stable
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/stable/mirrors

Business Progresses

When I first started my latest attempt to take over the world — aka, start my own business — I did so with three main concepts. One of them was to start an electronic voting company, with a new and refreshed look at the subject.
