[Cumbria] Daft Question

[Adam Pigg]

Hi

All your problems will be fixed by dumping gnome and mozilla for KDE :o)

The KDE desktop settings have options for showing icons all types of drive 
on the desktop, including smb/nfs/harddisks/cd/dvd/floppy mounts.  These 
diveices can also me accessed using the devices:/ protocol in konqueror, or 
on the services sidebar (which is nice)

KDE also has an ace email client you can use for all your emailing needs, 
and konqueror should suit you for browsing the web.

On a side note (to people in general), im learning html php at the moment 
and using quanta for my coding.  the pages use tables heavily (and nested) 
and have graphics in the corners to make rounded edges, this requires 
setting the cell height/width and the pages look superb in konqueror, but 
both mozilla and i.e. seem to ignore most of the cell heights and make the 
cells way to large which screws up the page. Suggestions welcome while i 
trawl the web for answers.

FYI, u can get free hosting with php and mysql with 15mb space at 
www.portland.co.uk.

my site will be at adampigg.9p.org.uk when i have something to show for my 
hours of labour learning php.

Cya

Adam
