I guess crystal icons and plastic theme are simple in the context of look-n-feel, icons/widgets, I think they both comes from Core packages .
Administration -> system administration. Settings -> User-specific preferences Not really the same thing, imo.
True, there are not the same thing, but we are having "Settings" as a duplicate for modules found in kcontrol.
Besides, placement of apps in the menus is not a "KDE" thing, it's controlled by the apps themselves via what Categories=... are listed in their .desktop files.
Perhaps, we can work more on the simplicity of KDE .desktop which comes from Core. My girlfriend has followed the discussions and agreed to say something about it: --------------------------------------------------------- I'd say it's a question of which people you target: If you want to be a distribution for more sophisticated and exeperienced users - let me call them geeks ;) - then you're fine with putting every possible kde-app into the core to satisfy everybody's needs. If your aim is that people using windows switch to fedora (also known as "newbies" ;) ) who first have to learn what kate (kwrite / kedit) is, how you use it, when and where... then you'll better try to simplify the distro. My _personal_ aim is that people like my parents use linux, that's why I'm very happy with the (k)ubuntu-ish way of doing it: ONE application for ONE task. If later they get so experienced that they need kwrite, too - well: sudo apt-get install kwrite Most people nowadays have fast internet connection. System Administration / Settings: I don't remeber exactly how those are in fedora, but I know that with kcontrol I can control virtually everything I need to. Even the reduced version in Kubuntu (kcontrol is still there by the way, it's just not in the menu) will make an average user very, very happy. So it's all a question of what you want with fedora and of which your target audience is. ___________ You can quote me if you want to :-D (...and if you do, mention that my mom recently switched to kubuntu ;) ) -------------------------------- Chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com
