Actually, I'm primarily an xfce fan, but I decided to give kde3 a spin. Bloatware it is, but it's pretty high quality bloatware. Much peppier than the older releases. Konqueror is an excellent browser; Kmail is tolerable. I still prefer Mozilla (or Galeon) and Sylpheed. Fortunately, I'm running a gentoo system, so I don't have to worry about the installation crap - just fire it up and stand back for about 5 hours. If you have a midrange PC (800Mz - 256M), kde3 is a reasonable solution. I could see kde3 appealing to a lot of folks who aren't linux heavyweights. For the tinkerers among us, nothing will replaced the stripped-down desktops like xfce or blackbox. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD?
