Many said TDE would be dead within a year.
Now, it's gaining ground to the point, I think, that some are nervous.
And many swore new KDE will work with just few upgrades - it was 10y ago.
G. time flies by!

it took a while to get my KDE desktop looking and
behaving right; which in
any case, is never very good.
I like to keep another desktop on my system, so that I can always boot up
into
the other desktop, if I am having problems specific to
TDE. I think LXDE
works better than KDE, but KDE has programs that are sometimes more
compatible with TDE.
Every time I use the new KDE Plasma, I get so frustrated that I want to
break
something. The same goes for whenever I have to use
other people's
computers,
especially if they run Windoze or the rotten Apple;
and it's even worse when
I have to use a public computer.
The only thing that worries me is that I am becoming my own island, which is
maybe not so good. I am thinking maybe of running a virtual box inside my
Linux machine, in which I can run Windoze or the rotten Apple or some other
Linux OS, just to keep up a little with changes that are going on "out
there".
Thank the Goddess for TDE! I believe I would have given up on computers
altogether, if not for Trinity.

Bill,
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have to work with crackmonkey clients. Both
itblows and snapple. They keep saying how there's SO much more software for
them and yet none of it is useful. Just games. Useless file managers (all
hail Konqueror, which is aptly named) and the CLI (via konsole).
I do like to run different distros but I only use one for work. Currently Ark
Linux 2008 and Ali's BigDaddy. I'm hoping to retire Ark for BigDaddy or
Slackware if and when TDE makes it there. I hope to gain enough skill to do
it meself.
Cheers and happy father's day to all,
Kate
