Hello, Recently I found a Linux distribution called Chakra GNU/Linux. It uses the K Desktop Environment only. My first series of posts are going to be using Chakra and setting KDE up for a efficient and proficient desktop environment. The KDE related posts should be valid for any linux distribution using KDE. Here is some information on Chakra and why I like it.
Chakra is semi rolling release, a pleasant mix of Stability and Bleeding-Edge software. Originally ArchLinux based, Now an independent fork.Additional reviews and information available here. Download of Chakra available here. I find KDE to be quite feature full and increases my work flow productivity. Chakra has an excellent package manager and an amazing community repository where you can find many pieces of software packaged by both Chakra and Archlinux users. Chakra also boast an excellent wiki.
