I would be. And do we not mean Squeeze?

I have looked at all those, in addition to KDE 4 and Gnome. None appeals to me. Each has something that I strongly dislike or does not have something that I like and use a lot. I would love to be able to upgrade to Squeeze if new(er) hardware dictates, but keep KDE 3.5. But I am not even almost tempted to go over to the dark side! I am, however, very sad that KDE 3.5, which I regard as the pinnacle of DE's, is being laid to rest. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
