good for u. thats the glory of Linux. we can be most everybody
else. i do realize that in this slug group most people would
disagree with me (probably) but for most people in the
world WE do want a unifying desktop. not necessarily
a single desktop. kde is it. for better or worse, for richer
or poorer, kde is it. there is nothing out there for linux
that is so polished and works nearly as well. maybe in
the future something will along and dethrone it. i doubt
it but its possible.

for those people who dont want to work with kde. dont.
use what u want. u dont have to. most of the rest of us
love kde. kde is used on 70 percent of linux desktops now.
soon it will be on windoes and macs and whatever else
there is left out there. i think we all should like this . its happening.
why not be glad for it. u dont have to use it, u are absolutely
free to use a terminal at any time.
