[Ubuntu-PH] Re: kopete, kde and wireless

Mon Jul 10 03:50:09 UTC 2006

if you have enough hard drive space, why not install both gnome and kde
instead of just defaulting kde, it still works anyway

on wireless, except for those cards that are still written to be unsupported
as stated in the man pages, most network cards should install without a
hitch, some intel pro models would need a little tweaking though, dlink and
orinoco are recommemded, dell latitude models are ok as well, both dapper
and breezy worked fine using the wireless
