I love konqueror to pieces. I use gnome at home, but only because I don't want to reinstall. konqueror is the best file browser out there, for my money (none).

I'm surprised that amarok doesn't play well with pandora, though. Apparently it's because pandora is a closed source webapp (though doesn't it seem like it should be open source? it has that feel). I'm sure someone will create a plugin soon enough, though it'll probably just be a front end for tiny web browsing.

Get KDE!

"I use gnome at home, but only because I don't want to reinstall."

apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

If I could get from Debian sarge to Kubuntu dapper with a change of sources.list plus:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-base kubuntu-desktop
and one reboot, it should be much easier for you to go from Ubuntu (Gnome) to Kubuntu (KDE).


Pandora's player is all Flash, though it's rumored that it's streaming 128kbps MP3. I think their TOS may prohibit usage outside their Flash or other authorized player (like my Squeezebox).

[livejournal.com profile] dachte's mention of finding a "neat set of hacks" has me intrigued, however.

last time I did a kde install it broke my laptop, but I'll give it a shot. What's the worst thing that could happen?

Boo, hiss!

Depending on the error, "apt-get install -f" *may* help clean things up.

Maybe. I'm sure I can just go find the official sources.list and that'll take care of it, but it was too late to worry about it last night.

I hate it when I double-paste.
