+ <para>Especially for people coming from a Windows or Mac OS

+
+ <para><application>Konqueror</application> is the key application of the <application>K Desktop Environment</application>. It serves as a Webbrowser, Filemanager and documents viewer.
+ Although it is integrated in <application>KDE</application> it can be used as
+ a standalone application. It is a HTML 4.01 compliant Webbrowser, with support for
+ CSS, Javascript and Plugins for Java, Flash and SSL. Like Mozilla it comes with Tabs
+ for browsing.
+ Konqueror is also a universal viewing application, able to display images and
+ documents without having to launch another application.
+ It allows you to do local and remote network file browsing, and applications
+ may be launched with a click.</para>
+
+ <para>To install <application>Konqueror</application> you have to
+ install this port:</para>

+ <application>Konqueror</application>-pendant in the GNOME-World - allows you to
+ manage your files and folders, or browse your LAN through Samba and NFS.
+ The left part of the window features a <application>Mozilla</application>-style
+ sidebar.</para>

+
+ <para>This is the filemanager that comes with <application>xfce4</application>-desktop,
+ which can be used as a standalone application. It features bookmarks to create
+ virtual directories with local files and remote SMB network files or shares. The
+ filemanager is able to mount and unmount <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> entries.
+ There is also support for thrashbins.</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-fm</userinput>

+
+ <para>While other filemanagers are sometimes a bit ponderous, this one is
+ fast and lightweight. It features a powerful expression-based find feature,
+ a pop-up minibuffer allows navigating the filesystem using shell-style tab
+ completion. Like xfce4-fm it is also able to mount and unmount filesystems.
