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...

When I started out on Linux there was no KDE. I've used the first alpha and beta versions. I moved on to Enlightenment, WindowMaker, Gnome, back to WindowMaker, KDE, WindowMaker, BeOS
, WindowMaker, Gnome, Enlightenment and finally back to KDE.
KDE is not just for newbies or powerusers.. KDE is a desktop environment and it's really comfortable for me. I don't care much anymore for simple thins like xfce and windowmaker, I just want to use my computer and click on little icons and have programs popup so I can do my work, and KDE fits the bill. It doesn't get in the way for me, and the programs are useful and stable and consistent. Everything works together and I'm happy (especially since I don't spend all my time on the computer anymore!)
