PCLinuxOS Day 3 - Exploring the Desktop
I have used the GNOME desktop for most of the time in the last year and a half, but the series about PC-BSD and DesktopBSD did a lot to build up appreciation for the KDE desktop. PCLinuxOS is running the KDE 3.5.8 desktop (after updates) and let’s see how it is organized and what applications are delivered by default.
Quick access via the panel
The default desktop has a clean look and feel with only three icons on the desktop (Home, My Computer and Trash). The panel provides quick access to three main functions: the Control Center, the Administration Center and the Package Manager. The Control Center is the KDE control center and the Administration Center gives access to the Mandrake-based configuration module. There are various overlaps between, since you can -for instance- configure Samba in both screens and setup the graphical interface.
