That was also my opinion. Konqueror was slow (especially the scrolling) |
25 |
and lacks many functions. Also the line pitch in the file area was too |
26 |
big. I can't remember all details but I was really disaffected with it. |
27 |
And dolphin was even worse. |

That's what I'm worried about. |

I'm used to (u)mount my devices per hand. That's no problem. I also |
63 |
made some small scripts which I can call with menu and with gkrellm. |
64 |
As my computer is not a mobile device or laptop, I don't need no battery |
65 |
monitoring at all. |
