You know, I just realized last night that the configuration piece in KDE Control Center on my box was put there by Caldera, and not part of the KDE packages....
The only way I figured this out was that while showing a friend how to change CD-automated settings, I clicked KControl ->Peripherals -> CD-Rom (Autorun) And low-and-behold, the Caldera banner was at the top of the tool... Well, it's always been the little things which made my love COL... It's a shame that I never can be sure if I should be warming up to COL or dumping it... I guess it will have to remain in Limbo until such a time that other distros do things nearly as well or Caldera makes it more painful to use their distro than it would be to use RH (ug!). But anyone who has ever gotten to know COL and any other distros very well at all MUST concede that COL does a lot of the little things right... like Configuring Printing...(KUPS) and Configuring X (XKConfig), and making the browsers work right with their plugins, and a pretty/powerful installer (ok, so I like the video game at the end), and their focus on KDE has made KDE work right (as opposed to other distros who include KDE simply because they are big on choices, and focus their time on Gnome). This stuff is all in addition to the stability of the distros and the fact that you can change stuff in the conf files and their tools don't overwrite it the next time 'round. I'm sorry. I'm as pissed at Caldera as the next guy. They are one of the most annoying companies I deal with, but I have to give credit where credit is due (like giving MicroSuck credit for creating a pretty decent UI, even if they DID change it 5 times since then)... and I'm reminded of these things every time I use another distro.
