Re: how to edit host.conf

Press Alt + F2 and type
kdesudo kate /etc/host.conf

kdesudo - a sudo frontend for KDE

and

kate - KDE Advanced Text Editor

If you have gksudo and gedit:
gksudo gedit /etc/host.conf


If you are using konqueror:
Right click > Actions > Edit as Root
- Edit as Root starts kwrite with root rights = kdesudo kwrite

You can use Konqueror servicemenus (some of them) in the Dolphin:
