[clug] Kubuntu 8.10 first impressions

[Michael Cohen]

Brad,
  If you dont use it that often surely tzwatch is the tool for you -
you just type tzwatch in the terminal when you want to know the time
somewhere.

Commandline tools are still the most flexible and useful no fuss
interface... dont get seduced by the dark side of the GUI.

Michael.
