Re: [BLUG] Party Hardy!

I've been using Hardy [remix] w/KDE4 for roughly a
month now and I have to say I approve of the
architectural changes. Without getting out of my
depth, it even feels better engineered.
That said, the interface is pretty bad right now.
Most of the functions I've come to believe are
synonymous with Kde are missing or are severely
limited. With each patch, more things have been
implemented and I expect the trend will continue, but
be wary.
Also, my personal favorite, and the on feature
that kept me using the Mac OS for so long is the
Finder "column view" which dolphin now has (oh yeah
they use dolphin now instead of konqueror :/). It's
almost as functional as the OsX finder.
