I have been using KDE4 since 4.0 came out. Never really been a big fan of either KDE or GNOME in the past, but the KDE4 series, the ideas and the technology behind it, and especially the VERY RAPID evolution have caught me -- have a peek at KDE 4.4, I reckon you'll have a nice surprise: it's beautiful (IMO, of course), VERY customizable, snappy, has plenty of desktop paradigms to choose from and I'm sure you can get it to behave more or less like KDE3 with a bit of customization, even though I totally miss the point there -- apart from the rant. - Cassiano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
