Enlightenment!!!!

Ok, today I got to know that there is some new desktop environment called enlightenment. So, I looked up the yum repository for it and added it. Then, just run yumex to install enlightenment and the dependencies.

Started off well, it was a new environment, not very fine in the functionality but it beats Windows Vista lookwise. So much configurable look, but hardly could I put my favorite icons on its panel(so called IBar). Its difficult to terminate programs and to run konsole, you need to run konqueror and then run konsole. There is no run command and kill is very buggy. Killed windows keep popping up and its overall difficult to handle it.

I am back into my KDE, but I'll keep experimenting as an when I get more time.

Another useful package on www.pbone.net is gnome-yum-fedora-repositories-0.1-1.ta.28.fc4.i386.rpm. This installs all the required repositories which needed to be installed manually into the various .repo files. Quite handy for those lazy ones!
