KDE Celebrates 10 Years of Existence
Rob Kaper wrote in to tell us about KDE's 10th anniversary. From the article:
"Yesterday at 10:00 AM the president of the KDE e.V. Eva Brucherseifer welcomed the audience of the presentation track at the KDE anniversary event at the Technische Akademie Esslingen (TAE) in Ostfildern near Stuttgart, Germany. Keynote speakers were Matthias Ettrich, founder of the KDE project, as well as Klaus Knopper of Knoppix fame. During their presentations they looked back at KDE's successful past 10 years and they offered their thoughts about the future of KDE and Free Software."
Rob adds this thought: "We've come a long way in ten years, but where must we still improve?"
You are just as bad as most windows users trying out linux for the first time. Just because things don't work the way they are used too they throw a fit. I find this rather annoying, and your comments make it seem like you tried out KDE for at most 5 minutes.
I know a few hardcore gnome users, that have recently converted too using konqueror as a filebrowser and Amarok as there audio app, so your comment about the filebrowsing and 'cool' apps seems like flamebait too me.
BTW you are probably used too the gnome way of handling things (ie reducing functionality), because installing new fonts was simple for me. I just went into Control Centre (kcontrol) and went too the fonts section. From there I browsed too my windows partitions fonts and installed all of the fonts. No hassles, worked straight away.
