KDE question

[geddy]

how do i set up a dial-up connection? Where's the web broswer??? And the point to this OS is......?

For a web browser, try clicking on the big K button and navigate your way as you would on a Windows machine. I'm sure you'll find Netscape there somewhere. For setting up a dial-up connection, try KPPP. For further information, try going to http://www.kde.com and reading the documentation there. I'm sure you'll find it quite helpful.

And the point to this OS is......?

If you need to ask, then what is the point for you to use it?

There is a very good NHF on Kppp here at LNO. Give it a try. Ensure your modem is detected and working first.

And your modem might not work if you have a winmodem, but you can search the net for patches to let winmodems work in linux

regarding the web browswer, ur file manager (kfm or konqueror, depending on the version of KDE u r running) should double up as a broswer. Tho' in my experience konqueror crashes more than netscape does (and a lot of ppl hate netscape because its prone to crashing or hanging randomly :) )
