You see Steve, it's always a matter of taste :) I have never been able to get around with GNOME since GNOME2 went out, and things went worse with GNOME3 and Unity. The last version of KDE I used was 2.something: what came next was just confusion, IMHO. Apart from my personal "age of Enlightenment", I have always been happy with WMaker and/or xmonad. Hence I believe I am not a good example of an "average user", and I think that the default install should have something like XFCE, LXDE, or WhateverDE. I suppose that the average user wants something that does not need any explanation to work just fine, while I don't mind the default of the distribution and spend the first few hours after installation recreating exactly the same environment I have had in my desktop machines for ages :) HND KatolaZ -- [ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ --- GLUG Catania -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ me [at] katolaz.homeunix.net -- http://katolaz.homeunix.net -- ] [ GNU/Linux User:#325780/ICQ UIN: #258332181/GPG key ID 0B5F062F ] [ Fingerprint: 8E59 D6AA 445E FDB4 A153 3D5A 5F20 B3AE 0B5F 062F ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
