That guy is really spending a lot of time for this. Maybe well someday see KDE 4 as a really usable alternative. :P

Maybe with a new tablet. KDE works but on n8x0 it's just too slow.

Yes, but this guy is modifying it to be more tablet-friendly. KDE 4.2 is way faster than KDE 4.1.2 on my old computer btw.

We'll see how it works after he finishes it.

Yes, I have tried many versions of KDE on my tablet, but none of these have been useful yet.

Saw that pic on http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3879 ?

There's six programs open and load-applet shows only 2/4 of memory is used... looks good.

Bwahahaha...I'm cloning a partition to play with it on...While I wait for KDE 4.3 to settle in Debian for my desktop.

Has anyone tried it yet? Does the fact that you have a desktop icon mean that you can use multiple desktops? Too much for the N810?

VulcanRidr | # 8 | 2009-08-08, 17:33 | Report

Does anyone know which packages to install to get the desktop? And how much space it needs? I cloned a partition that has 240MB free, and tried installing kde-window-manager (which is kwin), but it didn't include startkde, so I installed the package that contains that file, and next thing I know, the partition is out of space.

How large of a space is this going to require?
