this week I have converted the desktops of two non-tech users to KDE 4.2.\u00a0 They both use Mandriva, so I hope to get them on 4.3 next month, when Mandriva 2010 comes out.\u00a0 One of the users is still on holiday, so I&#8217;ll have to wait for reaction there.\u00a0 The other user just carried on using the same few apps as always, and apart from a small panic about where to find the shutdown button (his first look at kickoff, and didn&#8217;t immediately see that it was tabbed), had no reaction at all.\u00a0 The other user is a little more demanding, so likely to have more questions.\u00a0 The next couple of weeks should be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 1.33 million views and 500 registered users &#8211;
