Red Hat There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

Ahh... I remember CTRL-ALT-DEL

That takes me back...

Anyway... some helpful keyboard shortcuts that come default with Redhat9 and KDE...

CTRL-ESC yeilds similar a similar function to the CTR-ALT-DEL "functionality" of Win2k.

CTRL-ALT-ESC is better yet... kill that window! This function pops up a skull and crossbones cursor that you can move anywhere over the offending application's window and with one click, it's gone. Very nice.

There are lot's more keyboard shortcuts to be found on KDE. Just check out the KDE "Control Center" and look in the "Regional & Accessibility" section. There is a "Keyboard Shortcuts section there where you can view and customize shortcuts to your liking.

Of course it never hurts to read the Help files in the KDE Help Center either ;-)

Hope this helps.
