Two of My Favorites Now becoming A Couple

I have always been a fan of KDE. It has worked well for years, and I have found very few problems with any of their mature projects.

I bought my first netbook about a year after the first Eee became public. I was very impressed with having a mini notebook that can operate on its battery an entire work-day. Then I heard about some KDE members working on a netbook friendly GUI and window management using their new Plasma architecture(   widgets that can be integrated in applications and the desktop with an option of programming languages to create them ). Concequently with KDE 4 still being smoothed out, but quite usable and fun, and now the netbook Plasma widgets, which I have been trying , I really don't have a life.

If you are adventurous and can not wait until April 2010( although one can also install the kubuntu-netbook meta package for Kubuntu 9.10, then you may also enjoy the new KDE Plasma widgets by installing Lucid Lynx. It is quite stable, but I would up-date the packages immediately after the installation( sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo aptitude. In Addition, go for a break during the update. As it will take some time. Anyway, the only usability issue that I had was the Netbook Plasma widget's layout being difficult to manage. The Newspaper view would not currently allow me to move contained Plasmets around. Still, everything else has been working like a charm. Well, Plasma crashes occasionally, but if you want to help? Then, install the plasma debugging symbols. So, you will have a helpful crash report to send to the developers.

Well, on that note I will end, but will follow with some other links:

Customization Chaos

Customization of multiple accounts, passwords, and bookmarks, can seem like a waste of time. So, I grabbed some great links that have advice on how to simplify it all.

Well, that may sound like an oxymoron, but there are many good tips in the Wiki document here( http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Gentoo_maintenance).
