I tried kde 4.x during its early Dark Days and finally gave up in |
| 6 |
complete bafflement. |

Well, so many people in this group are enthusiastic supporters of |
| 9 |
kde I decided I'd give it another go over our long holiday weekend. |

I dreaded the thought of compiling the entire kde desktop on gentoo |
| 12 |
(again!) so instead I came up with the brilliant idea of installing |
| 13 |
kubuntu on a VirtualBox linux guest machine on my gentoo host. |

The installation of kubuntu was brain-dead-easy (that's the whole |
| 16 |
point of *ubuntu, after all) but when I logged in and started to |
| 17 |
use the kubuntu kde desktop to do actual work (shudder) I quickly |
| 18 |
found myself in a hopeless muddle (yet again!). |

My theory is that anyone over forty just doesn't understand what |
| 21 |
young-punk developers are about, these days. |

When I was a young punk myself, long ago, the mantra was "Don't |
| 24 |
trust anyone over forty!" (But I don't suppose you're old enough |
| 25 |
to remember those days.) |
| 26 |

I think today's young-punk developers must certainly feel the same |
| 28 |
way about old-fart (over-forty) lusers like me. (You?) |
