KDE: Breaking the Network Barrier 475
comforteagle writes "In this month's KDE: From the Source, entitled Breaking the Network Barrier George Staikos takes us on a walk-through of KDE's desktop networking protocol handlers in the vein of sftp:// webdav:// and a few really nifty ones I wasn't aware of like info:/ perldoc:/ and tar:/. The entire KDE desktop environment is decked out like this, and as George puts it, 'Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X have a long way to go to catch up with the robust, transparent functionality that KDE has provided since version 2.0.'"
What a relief. (Score:5, Funny)

Good thing the Christmas Island people have made it safe for the goatse:/ handler.

I guess that makes you special. Last time I checked it was open source.
the bits I had to work with were complete and utter crap
Good thing you posted an example, so no one thinks you're just trolling.
Tell me how in gnome (or windows explorer for that matter) that I can connect to an ssh server for seamless files transfers?

Somewhere the faint cry of agreement from the three HURD developers is heard.
