There seems to be an inclination as things progress to throw more and more
stuff into packages, I guess not much of a problem when you're dealing with
newer, more current hardware, but...
For example in earlier versions when using Konqueror and a link referred to a
text file it'd just open it, and display it. I didn't care for the font too
much (it showed as if wrapped in TT tokens) but could've lived with that.
Now when I get to the same point it fires up kwrite (?) to do the same job,
and I sit there watching the HD light stay on solid as the system swaps. And
swaps. And swaps...
Sure, I'm running some older hardware here. Linux (and the software that
goes with it) is supposed to do okay on earlier hardware. But as development
progresses the assumptions about what one is using seem to progress also,
and I'm not real happy about it here. :-(
