Happy and stunned to say that the de-Ubuntu-ization has been going better
than I had any right to expect. The whole setting up of "sudo" was a
pain -- not stuff you're likely to remember when you do it once every many
years -- and some various flaky stuff. Otoh, the easiest nvidia driver
install in history, so I'll take it. Many, many things I expected to be
hell to reconfigure . . . made it through the switch. My background is
xplanet, as always, with a high-res moon picture that I see has a
timestamp of Dec. 26, 1998 -- I seem to be set in my ways.
One surprise is that may be a bug. In the reduced version of the preview
TDE, KMenu does not seem to be installed by default. I do not know whether
that was intentional -- can't imagine it would be -- but unless one knows
to go to the panel applets and find and put it on Kicker, there's no
application menu.
Now, a question: Where is the Basket note pads application for TDE? Has its
name changed? It is one of those applications out with which I cannot do.
(Clear back to DOS, when I was addicted to InfoSelect -- indeed, many of
the notes there were transferred from InfoSelect to something else
inferior on Linux before Basket came along.) Is there a version, for TDE,
someplace?
Related, what's a good repository browser? I've used Synaptic for the 20
years I used Kubuntu, and, well, Ubuntu. Anybody have recommendations?
Thanks!
