The end user wouldn't see that though. All they would see is that installing KDE lets them run KDE apps.

I'm trying to concentrate on practical differences, not technical ones.

The tutorial this time is about the application Xournal. It doesn't cover every feature as there are so many, but has some general hints and tips to get you started, and tells you how to install and remove it:

The Internet Tablet School is taking a break for a couple of weeks so there won't be any new tutorials for that period, but the archives will of course be fully accessible.

Another new tutorial, this time on how to make video calls with the tablets:

http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...ablets-to.html

I've just done it for Google Talk because this is very easy if you already have a Google account (which a lot of people do, Gmail accounts are the same thing as Google accounts).

An extremely short tutorial this time, but possibly quite useful if you don't know how the tablet "night light" is controlled:

Here's an in-depth tutorial on how to use Last.fm with your tablet, both through the browser and through Canola (and yes, I do mention Vagalume too):

http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...m-to-make.html

If you don't know what Last.fm is, try it out, it's really addictive. It's basically a sort of personalised internet radio station where you choose a theme for the tracks to be based around, and it plays music related to that theme. You can skip tracks you don't want to hear, ban tracks you never want to hear, and it's all free and legal.

The easiest way to try it is just to go to the www.last.fm website, register a username and click on "Listen". The player works in the website, both on the tablet browser and on a PC browser.

Would just like to throw in a few "Thanks!" to krisse for all the hard work he's put into the Tablet School. Writing these guides isn't at all easy work (especially with those excellent video demonstrations) and I know he's helped a lot of people learn to use their devices.

Thanks, krisse!

Make sure you send in an application for the next discount program if Nokia runs another one.

Thanks General! I'm very flattered!

Hopefully once people have read a few tutorials they'll be brave enough to try some of the advanced topics on this forum and elsewhere. There's SO much good info on here, but you need a certain amount of knowledge to understand it, which is hopefully provided by the ITS.

As it says on the site, sales of the ITS Companion book help keep the site going, so if any beginners want to show their appreciation for the site they might consider buying the book. (Anyone can buy the book of course, but I suspect beginners will get the most out of it!)

The link to the book is below in my signature.
