What the hell is K3B? And what program should I burn a disk with? Microsoft has great names: Office for an office suit, Internet Explorer for an Internet web browser, Media Player for a media player. Ask someone off the street what Amarok or Firefox do, and you will get a blank stare. K3B has to be the worst of the bunch. Dotan Cohen</blockquote> </div> K3B is such a great app though its name doesnt matter. If you want the normal why are you on a linux distro? Anyone who uses the distros knows what the apps are so i dont see a problem. </blockquote> Ok, lets jump the fence for a moment! What the hell is Nero? or Adobe Acrobat,? Windows has it's fair share of weird names! Just as someone now to computing has a learning curve so do new users to KDE or Gnome. I struggled at 1st with the names but now it is 2nd nature. My wife who is a typical Windows user (past tense) had Kubuntu thrust upon her when her Windows machine kept blue screening while on a deadline to finish an assignment last year, I got her to get out my laptop, log in & pointed her to the shares where her files were on the server & bingo she was back in action. Her learning curve was not that great & now she is a great ambassador to Linux/Kubuntu (she even wears a Kubuntu polo to work some days) The reason for my ramble is anything different has a learning curve! If you have the motivation or need you will learn very easily. On a lighter side one of her friends was complaining about her machine blue screening, her response was "whats a blue screen?"
