I'm another Kubuntu KDE4 user here. I think the first offerings of KDE4 were for fanboys and enthusiasts only, but KDE 4.2.x in the current 9.04 release is very solid. The system config menu is a bit of a mess, is my only gripe.
Dolphin is a welcome change for a clear and simple way to navigate your system files. I think konqueror was getting too complex and overkill for a simple file manager. *ducks* :) Scott On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 21:29, Bill Kendrick <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, May 02, 2009 at 04:11:17PM -0400, Peter Jay Salzman wrote: >> Has anyone here made this switch?
