PC-BSD Day 9: Communication
The KDE desktop is quite often the desktop of choice for distributions that want to tempt the Windows user. Xandros, Linspire, Mandriva and PCLinuxOS are Linux distributions that come to mind. PC-BSD also opted for KDE. In contrast, Ubuntu uses GNOME and it’s popularity and wide spread use weren’t harmed by it. For the larger part of the last 12 months I have been using Ubuntu and the GNOME desktop. Now it’s time to take a closer look at the KDE desktop and really use the applications that were designed for it.
KMail and KNode
The first step was to let go of Thunderbird and start moving my accounts to KMail. You don’t need an advanced degree in IT to set up your accounts. The first run guides you through a wizard where you can leave the usual information about kind of account, account information like user name and password and the addresses of the incoming and outgoing servers. You can add additional accounts later by going to Settings -> Configure KMail.
