Around 3 weeks ago, I downloaded the 2nd beta of KDE 3.2 from their FTP site. I've been using this release every day since then. The purpose of my writing this piece is not to highlight KDE 3.2's new features and applications - read the Changelog at KDE's site for that - but to give you a complete picture of how it measures up to its previous versions in terms of everyday use. Does it make me more productive? Is the command line more efficient yet? Or, even better, does it make me use the command line more effectively? Read on...
""KDE Media player", "KDE Explorer", "KDE Text Editor" etc. might make things a little more accessible"
Not possible. The number of companies who used "Explorer" or "Mediaplayer" in their software's names and which got sued by Microsoft is rather long.
And descriptions are possible in KDE's menus since a long time and good distros should have them enabled by default. An example for the current possibilites: Mozilla (Web Browser), Web Browser (Mozilla), Mozilla.
