Forgot to mention the dolphin functionalities. I found out that it´s possible to see folders trees, main locations (forgot the correct name) and even a konsole terminal inside a dolphin window. Yet, you can split into two views, set to amount and the kind of file details you want to see, and much more. (Don´t know if it was possible on Kde 3.5, so, you tell me). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009/3/24 Frederyco Martins <fredy.martins@xxxxxxxxx>: > I´m kind of a newbie on linux and on kde also. > > But on my short experience I can say what I > noticed in terms of production.
