<0> hello?
<0> hello
<0> anyone here?
<1> Suspekt: HELLO ?
<0> hello
<0> znx are you still there?
<1> no
<0> heh
<0> can i ask u a question
<1> sure fire away..
<0> is switching FC5test3 from Gnome to KDE a nightmare or is it easy
<1> switchdesk kde
<1> done
<1> :P
<0> and further... do you know what the underlying diffrence between KDE and Gnome are?
<0> I don't have the KDE packages installed... just install alla em and im good?
<1> mostly the difference is personal taste
<1> oh yeah.. install then switchdesk
<0> so i don't have to like reinstall the whole system
<1> nope
<0> i can just install KDE packaged and unistall the gnome ones?
<1> kde is just like gnome.. built ontop of X
<0> right
<0> i like the gnome desktop but the filemanager is just... horrible
<1> you might have issues removing gnome
<1> er..
<1> dont switch to kde.. just to get a different filemanager :x
<0> ...
<1> install a different filemanager and use that :)
<0> ok i did not know i could do that
<1> yup..
<0> any one in mind?
<1> well.. im very much of a light desktop user.. rather than kde/gnome ..
<0> ah
<1> and i use something called rox.. which is very much like gnomes nautlius
<1> but..
<0> i thought about giving that a try but i think id be to lazy
<1> heh
<1> you can also try to see if you can find a package for "konqueror"
<1> which is kde's browser/filemanager
<0> i am slowely picking up the command line but there is a lot of things im just not savy on that a gui just does with ease u kno
<0> its hard to go from being a hard core M$ user to a whole knew world
<1> :)
<0> so how do i get konqueror integrated into gnome?
<0> and further... i have yumex installed
<0> but man... yumex has a lot of catching up to do to be as good as the debian package manager
<1> Suspekt: it should, once installed, turn up under a menu called "KDE Menus" ..
<1> you will be able to access it from prefered apps.. too
<0> let me try that real quick then...
<0> hey... another question
<0> where is the file that stores my depositories for yum?
<0> i followed some faq and i guess i put some bad ones in and now the **** don't wanna work
<0> pup won't work and yumex won't work
<1> oh..
<1> /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.d/* .. are the areas
<0> maby i should have stuck with FC$
<0> FC4
<1> look at fedorafaq.org
<1> its got an example config there..
<1> although it ISNT for test3
<0> yeah maby i shouldn't have done that
<1> tampering the repos.. can be tricky
<0> i figured it would have the latest software which im kinda used to from other distro's
<0> its not in Ubuntu...
<0> just 'add repo'
<1> heh
<0> BUT ubuntu dosn't like my videocard...
<0> choices choices...
<1> well..
<1> what is yor card?
<0> man linux is so damn complicated lol
<1> if you can make it work under one distro.. it will work under others..
<1> its just about the tampering :x
<0> nice thing about windows is it dictates what will and won't work lol
<0> right right
<0> well what do you think is the best distro?
<1> actually thats not true about windows
<1> you can install and it doesnt work :x
<1> and then its a nightmare to remove
<1> and you leave bits behind all the time
<0> this is true
<0> my windows box is as streamlined as you can get
<1> Suspekt: i use a distro that i wouldnt suggest to noobs :)
<1> namely gentoo
<0> ah
<1> for noobs i suggest fc and ubuntu :)
<0> i tried running slack for about a week
<1> slack is fun..
<0> that didn't work out to well lol
<1> heh
<0> considering i don't know how to mount things lol
<1> it can be tough to make the crossover into linux.. as it does things differently on all levels
<0> yeah
<1> but i treated it as fun..
<0> i mean i really know some windows
<1> and now its my desktop..
<0> and what i don't know i know how to find out
<1> windows is just for gamin :)
<0> (thats all mine does lol)
<1> heh
<0> (that and my torrent machine)
<1> woot!
<0> but my server will take that job over once its built
<0> (by server i mean my current gaming machine whence its replaced by a newer one next year lol
<1> well .. i think that you should have **** with fc4.. whilst fc5test3 has new packages..
<1> it isnt a release..
<0> right
<0> sigh... i don't feel like burning another DVD though
<1> but you might be able recover it..
<0> when is 5 supposed to be released
<0> oh i went right from the disk
<0> i had Suse on here befor
<0> ... suse is nice but its almost TOO automated
<0> kinda takes the fun out of it
<1> Suspekt: you could reinstall fc5test3 ..
<1> if you dont have two many files on the box that you need?
<0> none
<0> im still in the setting up phases
<0> i only just enabled java and flash
<1> well.. when you are installing.. you should be able to select kde from the lists
<0> havn't enabled DVD and mp3 sup yet
<0> right
<0> i mena i like gnome
<0> its very sleak
<1> yeah gnome is nice..
<0> sleaker than KDE will be
<1> its defn the better eyecany
<1> *candy
<1> Suspekt: but you can have kde and gnome installed..
<1> then use kde utils on gnome :)
<0> will they integrate though?
<1> i run fluxbox.. and use gnome and kde utils on it ;)
<1> like i say.. they are all X programs :)
<0> right right
<0> well what i mean is like, if im running in gnome and i click on my 'home' folder, will it pull up konquor?
<1> you can edit the link.. so it uses knoq .. yes
<1> you mean the icon right?
<0> ah
<1> you can also just copy in place another icon.. from the menu
<1> and remove the exist on..
<1> the other icon would be konq's of course :)
<0> how do i edit the links... do i have to consantly change em if i make a new one though
<1> no
<1> you would simply use konq file:///home/znx for instance
<1> and thats it..
<0> hum...
<0> im about to just install slackware
<0> make my life easyer and harder at the same time
<1> hehe
<0> my only gripe with linux is i still havn't really cracked the filesystems code
