First I want to say thank you to all the people that offered comments and feedback on making the switch to KDE. I have read each one and I have been checking out the suggested apps. Thank you for all the suggestions–it sure is making this trial a bit easier. Below are some of my initial feelings, thoughts and not-yet-resolved issues.
- Kmail does work with Exchange using the disconnected IMAP option. Thanks to Lure for that tip.
- Akregator is very nice. I think it was a stupid idea to remove RSS from Evolution so I’m glad this app is integrated or standalone.
- Konquerer is very clean and quick but it doesn’t work with my companies CMS. For some reason it isn’t submitting form data (??). I am back to Firefox at this point.
- Katapult is pretty cool so far and I’m getting in the habit of using that a lot.
- Kgpg is working well for my gpg keys no problem.
- I have installed basKet but I haven’t had time to play with it yet. It sounds like it could be a good replacement for Tomboy that I used in gnome.
So far I can’t think of anything that I haven’t been able to do.. it’s just been a little stressful in production trying to find the right app for the right job in the least amount of time.
I’ll keep posting some of my findings here. Thanks again for all of the suggestions so far!
