Konqueror, The Powerful KDE Browser
,----[ Quote ]
| So far, all of the browsers that I reviewed for this book have been
| Gnome-based browsers. Epiphany is a Gnome-sponsored project, and Firefox is
| rapidly moving towards Gnomeization (though at the time of this writing, a Qt
| port of Firefox is under heavy development). What’s a good KDE user to do?
| Simple: use the conqueror of the browser market, Konqueror.

VLC goes to nine point two
,----[ Quote ]
| Sometimes I get the feeling that I only know about 5% of what VLC can do.
| Everyone knows it's a dependable, free, cross-platform media player. But read
| through the release notes for the latest version, 0.9.2, and you will see a
| dizzying array of server, network streaming, and conversion functions, most
| of which I have never even touched -- and the new VLC exposes a lot more of
| that functionality.
|
| [...]
|
| But even with those quibbles, VLC is easier to use and does a more consistent
| job of exposing its functionality than either MPlayer of Xine. VLC's
| interface does not get in your way, and you do not have to read a tutorial to
| get started with it. It just works. Add to that the fact that VLC is robust
| on all three major desktop OSes, and you have a winner.

Konqueror 4.0 brings some vast improvements.
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.0 was released several days back, and thanks to the KDE Four Live CD, I
| was able to give it a try with very little effort. Having used it for about a
| day and a half now, I’d like to share some of my impressions of this new
| release of KDE.
