I remember when KDE 2 ? or was it 3 ? that launched and included Konq.
 Lotsa friends raved.  I tried the whole KDE thing and was rather...
unimpressed.  Then again, I was more of an Afterstep fan at the time hehehe.
I... can't recall the last time I tried it since then.  I think Konq is
supposed to be similar to explorer/iexplore in Win98/etc.  The generic
does-everything-marginally-well ? I could be a bit of a bastard and try out
the whole 'Konquerer' thing supplied by this andLinux thing.. and see how
that goes.
