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...

Yes, I did think about the copyright issues when I posted my comments. However, these were just examples of more descriptive names. "KDE Multimedia Centre" might work... "KTunes" maybe (Apple might not like this...). Anything must be better than Juk, kaboodle, noatun, xine etc... There is a KMPlayer (that I didn't know about) although I'm not sure how good it is.
It's not to say that there aren't reasonable names though - Mplayer, KWrite are just a couple of decent names.
