Build the Perfect Desktop With KDE
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 12/21/2005 - 09:16
As much I would like to believe I am as brilliant and charismatic as Linus Torvalds, it's really not worth the effort, because it's so not true. But Linus and I do agree on one thing: KDE is an excellent desktop. It looks good and it works well- what more does anyone need? Best of all, it doesn't simplify by removing functionality, like a certain well-known desktop project does. You want a simpler, cleaner interface? Might I suggest organizing the menus and configuration dialogs with common functions on top, and advanced functions available on a different level? Throwing away functionality seems a tad daft.
KDE is extremely customizable, which is a boon to Linux distribution packagers, corporate and other business users, and finicky end users who want everything just so. It can even be locked down into a particular customized configuration, which is useful in public environments like Internet cafes and public libraries, and on tyrannical corporate desktops.
Today we'll look at what sort of applications are available for KDE, where to find them, and some ideas for building your own super-powered Kryptonite-proof workstation, customized to your exacting personal specs.

You talk the talk, but do you waddle the waddle?
How the teacher tests the students ?
You have tested the readers on Tuxmachines to see if they noticed something is wrong? Let them speak up? How my grandmother said the wrong things to get me excited, so as not to be fooled?
I had trained 68 Northeasten University coop students in my life. and I had to tell them something wrong; then correct myself to make them notice the difference.
You will get more readers to respond this way? Clever way to find out how advanced are the readership and what people are really interested or not in more details of any story??
Footnote: Blogs are mostly stories of the past, not all are complete truth, unfortunately. Planning a revolution, however, has some truth to it; when Linux development started to change with some revealing and interesting results, sooner or later.
Whatever is planned correctly will cure the ills of this world.
