[dundee] Anyone using Manjaro?

[Robert Ladyman]

Thanks for those who gave opinions and help. 

For myself, I finally settled upon OpenSuSE 13.1 (as it still provides the old 
Kmail as a package) along with E17 (the Enlightenment DE) which is, I have to 
say, very refreshing after KDE. By refreshing I also mean quick and pretty.  
One of the most impressive things is terminology:-

being able to type tycat xyz.avi and have an avi in-line in the terminal is 
rather interesting (10:20 ish), or pdfs, or images...

Things I'm having to get used to: no session restore when I log back in. No 
mullti-clipboard (at least, I haven't had time to look aroundfor these yet).

For users, they are going to be blighted with, sorry, using KDE but with the 
old Kmail (sans akonadi et al). This is the least work in terms of 
installation and training.

See you at this evening's meeting.
