I have upgraded all my systems to KDE 4.3.1 very successfully, and it is gorgeous. While still slower than LXDE (this will likely always be the case), it is much better than the 4.2 that shipped with Jaunty. I have also upgraded to OpenOffice 3.1.1, the latest stable Wine, and I have updated Xorg as [...]

I started last night. First, I decided to use the 32-bit LiveCD installer. I booted off the CD after shutting down Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, and soon was at the GUI (I chose the first option; to test before installing).

I tried to connect my media computer to my wireless network and failed. I ended up running a wired connection to it and searching online for an answer. There is a lot of stuff out there regarding problems with the KNetwork Manager app being brain-dead with wireless. I did some checking and [...]

Sweeeet.
I plug in my HP printer, [...]

I have been playing around with XFCE4 on Kubuntu for a couple weeks now. I have looked at some config files, tried a little theming (very little), and basically poked around some of the config util GUIs. It is quite fast to start up, and most functions are available that I had in KDE (konsole [...]
