The Epilogue: I finally took the plunge and downloaded Kubuntu 9.04 so that I can try out KWord. But would you believe it, I don't really need to use KWord - Okular works perfectly! So I suggest other people in the same situation use Okular. Hopefully someone will add the same functionality into Evince sometime soon. On a related note: KDE might not be as stable and smooth as Gnome right now but application wise it is showing potential! Installing the kdegames package brings in some of the nicest timepass (non FPS) games I have seen. One of my laptops is now permanently moved over to KDE. -- Anupam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
