Change of plans...

Kuartet development has hit a snag. I've been experiencing some issues with performance in the latest build, so I've been reluctant to release it until I can scale some things down. I've realised that a lot of my ambitions for the Kuartet Desktop Project should wait until KDE 4.0 and Plasma become more stable. I plan on contributing to KDE 4.0 a lot, but in the mean time...

I'm going to be working on GomerOS (or Gomerix, work in progress), my distrobution that is going to be based on Kubuntu Dapper. The main selling point will be that GomerOS will showcase the latest and greatest desktops available on any platform. A lot of work is going to go into incorporating the best, in my opinion, karmaba applets into a central theme configuration. The majority of my work on Kuartet work will carry over to this project, however the GomerOS Desktop will incorporate many of my customizations to KDE. I'll try to keep releasing Kuartet on a regular basis, but my real concern lies in getting GomerOS out as soon as possiible.
