Is there a way in wikipedia to automatically count an inflation adjusted value based on a date and contemporary nominal value? It would be quite useful to have such column next to "value" which, in 20+ years period, doesn't have much comparison value really. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.240.112.141 (talk) 14:40, 2018 October 11 (UTC)

Should there be something about KDE or GNOME?

KDE and GNOME are desktop managers. They can be installed from the source disk of most linux distributions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.182.29.18 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Red Hat moved from RTP a few years back. They are now located on the NCState campus. I removed the link to RTP and someone readded it; I don't know what the policy is for this as I don't want to just re-remove it again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.189.95.60 (talk • contribs) 19:55, 19 November 2003 (UTC)

Sorry, I was just following the address from their own homepage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nixdorf (talk • contribs) 07:28, 20 November 2003 (UTC)

There is no information about current and previous Red Hat Software. There is no mention about the Red Hat Directory Server, the Red Hat Certificate System and other such products, even though they are vital to the architecture that they plan to provide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RVilt (talk • contribs) 22:10, 7 February 2007
