I was a committed KDE user till April, when I tried the latest Fluxbox |
| 10 |
& haven't looked back: they've done a lot of work to make it useful. |
| 11 |
I still use a few KDE 3 apps, but am resigned to finding alternatives, |
| 12 |
if KDE 4.3.1 isn't a distinct improvement on 4.2.1, when I try it in Oct. |
| 13 |
Besides Fluxbox, I can recommend Xfce's Thunar & Terminal, |
| 14 |
which I now use regularly. |

I expect to keep KDE 3.5.9 in my stand-by machine for a long time, |
| 17 |
but I don't update either box using 'emerge world', |
| 18 |
so I won't run into serious blocks & masks. |
