Some of these programs I could get rid of, or replace with others, but once again ... time is needed. the symlink - is a quick way to fix the lack of auto-configuration in some of these programs. ... although most of them do OK.

Now I have TDE running on my secondary, a 14.2 32 bit system, and it's pretty sweet but I was surprised that TDE's footprint is only slightly lower than the default Plasma on 14.2. I like to use /usr/local for some apps and it would be nice to be able to run both Plasma and Trinity on the same system and I'm wondering why simply installing in /opt/ wouldn't solve both those concerns. Since that location was default for a generic install of TDE, I'm also wondering why changing that was desirable?

I tried these on 14.2 but couldn't run dual monitors... :|

After spending some time on TDE Trinity and being pleased with it's speed and intuitive nature but aware that it lacks a few of the modern accommodations I am very curious as to why,. with all the hoopla over low resource WM/DEs that neither TDE Trinity nor any of the LXDE varieties has even ever made it to a single full release? Odd.
