Oh, I got rid of the semantic stuff years ago. I try to put my files in |
| 18 |
logical folders, and for when I don't there are always find, grep and |
| 19 |
panic - in that order. |

As I said, I've tried other desktops before, I know KDE uses a lot of |
| 22 |
resources, but I always found them wanting. I was messing with a live CD |
| 23 |
today and saw a KDE/Openbox option in the login options. So I installed |
| 24 |
Openbox on my desktop machine and that option appeared. I still get my |
| 25 |
KDE apps but with Openbox instead of Plasma and KWin, and first |
| 26 |
impressions are that it is much faster. |

I may find something I can't do without by tomorrow, and it doesn't look |
| 29 |
as nice (yet) but this may be just the compromise that suits me. |

Discussions like this are useful in getting you to explore other options, |
| 31 |
even if you have tried to before. |
