| Success Story | The Information Hiding Laboratory is a research group located in the Computer Science Department of University College Dublin, Ireland. There are a number of areas currently under research, including audio watermarking, software watermarking, multimedia indexing, steganography, collaborative filtering and hardware encoding. The nature of our research requires many simulations to be run and these simulations tend to last for hours if not days and weeks. The cost of a software failure can be high in terms of both time and effort and as such we have chosen to use Linux with KDE on most desktops and all simulation severs because of its long history of stability and reliability. Besides setting up and monitoring our simulations, KDE is used for common day-to-day activities including the more popular ones such as web browsing (Konqueror), e-mailing and calendaring (Kontact), instant messaging (Kopete), LaTeX editing (Kile), coding (Kate) and a few of us are even addicted to Ksirtet! We have been using the KDE desktop for almost four years now without problem. Because of its proven track record (particularly stability) we have pushed its use throughout our department and we will continue to recommend it to anyone for most applications. |
