I'm somewhat of a Newbie to both the great land of UNIX, LINUX &c., as well as the kde desktop (or for that matter...just the concept of distros which have different desktop options (e.g., GNOME, kde).
I have been running PCLINUXOS 2009 for the past few weeks with kde 3 packaged with it. I have noticed that kde has advanced to kde 4 or 4.5 and that kde 3 is somewhat outdated.
E.g., I want to install KTTS/KTTSD which I gather is compatible with kde 4+ and not so compatible with kde 3. Reading onscreen makes my eyes irritated.
I also wish to install the appropriate K -FAX application that will allow me to use my Connexant Smart Modem (fax) over a land line (using a TP-Link ADSL modem/router). I do not wish to use ´fax over internet protocol´, so to speak.
Many of the efax apps appears to be just that: email based faxing.
Questions:
1. How do I update or install kde 4[+] over an existing kde 3 desktop (PCLINUXOS)?
2. Which is the best fax software to use for actual modem-landline usage that is well suited for kde?
3. Is there a way to download an entire kde-related manual instead of hitting links after links and printing out one or two pages -- when there are hundreds of pages to read?! I dislike reading online.
4. I recently ran into troubles with updates and discovered that I needed to try a few different repositories before things worked properly again. The repository that worked was one of the few FTP server-based options. Many were http:ftp combos >8>- ...
Can anyone explain this state of affairs without too much bother?
MANY TANKS (sorry for so MANY K-uestions!)
TTFN,
