What kind of better support?

I think this is a great idea. Interfacing a laptop
with a main system would be of great use to industry,
placing KDE more on the laptop if it is implemented
well.

I would suggest the use of wizards for guiding users
through hooking together the machines, and transfering
information.

I am sure I have seen a KBreifcase or something
similer on Freshmeat as well.

Cheers,
