QT5 beta release
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_5.0
^I see some wayland there

Linux is the sheeeeeat bay bee. I seen estimates on the web that it would take billions to re-engineer linux from the ground up.

Off topic:
I've decided to learn how to navigate/use linux after quitting learning unix for a brief period back in the late 90's (and perl), I'm picking back up where I left off.
I'm currrently running Debian on a 3.2ghz 6 core 64 bit customized ibuypower desktop pc having fun with WINE and Winetricks installing windows applications on debian lol. Makes me want to get a galaxy note 2 and install ubuntu on it and then wine and have a little pc I can use to create CNC tool paths.

I'm at the last 20% of my machinist class training but I decided to take a few weeks to learn Mastercam (which is a windows program) so now that I have Wine hopefully I can install Mastercam home learning edition from eapprentice.net and design parts at home after school.
I wanted to back engineer the cheapo yellow plastic cover/case I have for my N9 by measuring it and then redesign it in Mastercam to add a U shaped kickstand and then machine it out of aluminum just to see if I can do it as a class project. I was thinking of engraving QT at 20 thousands of an inch on the back with the camera hole in the center of the Q. I'll start a separate thread when I have the first attempt at reproducing the shape of the case in Mastercam.
