I think we need a new file manager because Konqueror it's too general in its purpose (KDE needs to run on every *nix). I take a look to Xandros file manager and installed Xandros and saw that file manager and tested it and "wow it rocks". See for yourself: http://www.consultingtimes.com/articles ... nager.html (http://www.consultingtimes.com/articles/xandros/filemanager/filemanager.html)

I think something similar will enhance the desktop and make the user's life more easier.

I think this is better:

- Maxtor HDD
- Root
- Swap

- Seagate HDD
- Downloads
- Music
etc...

You're right. It aims to be an user oriented os, didn't it?

btw, You can switch between views in KDE. How? Use the view profile mode.
A bit complicated.

What about:

- System HDD
- Root
- Swap

- Storage HDD 0
- Downloads
- Music

Imagine the user had two identical HDD's? you couln'd tell which one was which by the name only...

Most users are clueless about who is their hard drive manufacturer. :)
