I think it is a KDE tool, so I wonder: is YAST the system management tool to use in gnome? Similarly, is YOU the tool for online updates, or must we use red carpet somehow? In a different vein -- does anyone know what the multi-media apps in gnome are? And can we use the KDE apps in gnome (or the other way around)? If both gnome and KDS desktops are installed, are there any conflicts or problems? I prefer KDE generally, but there are aspects of gnome that appeal to me, and some of the people in my "sphere" are choosing gnome, so I need to get to know it a bit ... Thnx for any insight! Peter
I think it is a KDE tool, so I wonder:
No it isn't, YaST is built on both the QT and ncurses toolkit for its front-end.
is YAST the system management tool to use in gnome?
YaST is the SUSE system setup/management tool irrespective of your desktop. There are also the tools in gnome-system-tools for some aspects of system maintenance
Similarly, is YOU the tool for online updates, or must we use red carpet somehow?
See above. But use smart, whatever desktop you use. :)
In a different vein -- does anyone know what the multi-media apps in gnome are?
How long have you got? Key app is Totem, but see also Banshee, Rhythmbox, Sound Juicer, MPlayer, etc etc etc...\
And can we use the KDE apps in gnome (or the other way around)?
Yes (and yes)
If both gnome and KDS desktops are installed, are there any conflicts or problems?

Yes, you can run Gnome apps in KDE and vice versa. I have never noticed any conflicts or problems.

When deleting files with KDE apps the deleted files will not go to the
trash, instead they go to home/.local/share/trash/files where you have to
use the terminal or nautilus to delete them, else you will have a full
harddrive in no time, atleast if you are deleting large files like movies
and so on.

Or, you could just right click on the trash can and select "Empty Trash Bin".
No, not if they not are there and the trash bin on my desktop is empty.

Try using SHIFT+Del when deleting in KDE, it ought to bypass the trash bin altogether.

actually it is: home/LOGIN/.local/share/Trash/files or ~/.local/share/Trash/files and mine was empty, because when I use Konqueror to delete files, I use SHIFT-DEL. when you do that it bypasses the trashcan, but you better be SURE, because you can't get it back once it is deleted! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

This is not completely true since the files are recoverable if retrieved before they get overwritten. Example: grep -a -B 10 -A 200 'search_pattern' /dev/hda3 >> file See the link below for details. http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/ReiserFS_Data_Recovery_...

Fix: Open system:/ in Konqueror ("kfmclient exec system:/") and you can browse and empty the trashcan-according-to-KDE Whinge: KDE is putting the trash in the location defined by freedesktop.org standards [1][2], why doesn't gnome?
