Yes, I despised KDE 4 for the first few revisions. I don't think it was until 4.4 or so that it became tolerable for me. IMHO the way Linux should work is that you should be able to run your preferred desktop, X-window system on your favorite distro. If you're truly a veteran user, you should be capable of pulling that off without too many bumps and wrinkles. I say should because I've tried running a few different X-Window Managers a few times without much look. Granted my troubles were mostly due to my ignorance of said X-win mgrs. and my lack of interest and time to make them as or more usable for me than the default desktop such as KDE / Gnome. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
