Nice. I prefer the KDE as well. I also agree about Apple. They really
dumbed it down on the top for their regular customers, but left all the
"sweet meat" in for the rest of us to use.
I never told you to tell people "what to use" - but most people like seeing
"reviews" if you will - of products before they go and spend their hard
earned dollar or their hard-to-come-by time on something. You are a
passionate out-spoken person - just saying you use FreeBSD and the KDE gui
desktop manager will cause people to go out and try it because they will
feel better knowing someone who knows this stuff says it's "Good".
Throwing it out there - just in passing - has more power than you might give
it credit for.
