"distributed filesystem, network resources such as autoconfiguring mailservers and that other nifty things are not the job of KDE, it's the job of your underlying. please realize that KDE is desktop environment, not system configurator etc etc"
I really think there should be ways to set you ip adress/change resoulution and bit depth from the KDE Control panel. Something like SuSE:s stuff but more generic (and Free!) so it works on every *nix and GNU/Linux distribution. Not an easy task I know but one can wish :-). These things are really needed for home desktop users and consultant types like me using laptops, to plug in everywhere all the time. In an enterprise setting where an administrator does all these things I see that this is not som much needed.
