As mentioned before Samba should be all you need to achieve the home network and file sharing. If you do not have a dedicated machine to act as a server I would use the one with the best network connection (preferable hard wired and not wifi) to store the data (files) and add the shares. If you do h...

I agree claudecat and I am not recommending that the whole suite is included. I need to do some more digging but I think this (again referring to KIPI) was included in the standard package set from about KDE4.6. As I said it is a key piece of software that adds some great functionality to a number o...

I am a new user, and I am curious... besides uploading pictures to online services (which does not interest me), what other features of KDE are not included in Mint 13 KDE by default? And how would I add them? Thanks in advance. --Jim Hi Jim, I've not done an exhaustive check but there were a coupl...

the artwork department always scares me :D it's like opening a pandora's box, i would use of gracious dictatorship :shock: and select some sane defaults (furthermore you already shown us that you have an eye for artwork: the defaults in the existing isos are great) if you start asking around you ge...

Thanks for all of your great work Schoelje. This implemenatation of LMDE KDE looks great. I did download the original .iso but have since done a major upgrade on my PC and ditched any large files. I'm now downloading again and will seed this for you. On the artwork side there are a couple of prolifi...

I'm a fan of Palepeli myself, though Kbreakout is good for the occasional releif of boredom

After toying with a number of other KDE Distros (Chakra and Sabayon9, which are both aawesome by the way) I've finally installed Mint 13 KDE on my main home machine. Whilst I am very pleased with it a few key KDE parts are missing. One such thing is the KIPI plugins for Gwenview etc, being able to u...

If you boot using your Mint DVD you can use your partition manager to resize the partition.

Very impressed with KDE 4.8.4 (coming from 4.4ish it is a huge improvement).

Installed! And updating.

I broke GRUB in the process (entirely my fault) but fixed now

Looking good so far

That's great news, when will it be available on heanet?

I tried it as a newb and needless to say failed miserably! Went running off to Kubuntu and got the KDE bug then and there

it's all Linux. That's something that has occurred to me after trying Chakra and Sabayon9. For me it is the DE that is more important than the base. Admittedly I have fairly basic computing needs but the user interface is of most importance. I've tried Unity (still have it installed on a PC in my b...

That was a good read, how has your experience with Fedora been over the past week?

This looks great, I will download and seed.

I'll reassert my comment whilst you make baseless arguments.

"Take, for instance, Mark Russinovich, Mark Thurrott, etc..., those guys are deep and technical and they could probably outsmart any equivalent that Linux has to offer and there are lots of them like that in Windows."

Take, for instance, Mark Russinovich, Mark Thurrott, etc..., those guys are deep and technical and they could probably outsmart any equivalent that Linux has to offer and there are lots of them like that in Windows. Yeah, sure, the dummies like to use Windows but, the brains in Windows are much mor...

Thanks for the update zerozero!
