Unfortunately, many just cleverly say:

"Some info about protocol ..."

That's cool.  I don't mind using command-line, but for some reason I
have difficulty remembering the rarely used dpkg/apt* commands.  Also,
apt-file doesn't work for gnewsense-kde for some reason.

That's neat.  I may have seen it before, but I forgot.  I don't know how
useful it is in practice, since I usually just rip a CD with
KAudioCreator (which opens automatically and then rips to a
pre-configured folder) and never touch it again.  However, it's just a
clever design and I have to respect.

Not working when I try:

Can't get that to work either.

I'll keep them in mind, but for end-users, just using the app is
probably easier.  Also, what do people have against mounting
filesystems?  I find that more natural, and it inherently works in all
programs.
