Dave,

Yes, that was what made it so worthwhile.  Wish it had more than one
terminal window though, but Firefox was good enough to just use as a
file browser to find the files I needed.  A file explorer (like xfe?)
would be nice, maybe in a future version (KDE would just be bloat).
Otherwise, that was about the only thing missing and it still got the
job done.
