Just that when comparing the different distros I use, it's not the WM which makes much difference (although when comparing the different desktop distros, some do one particular WM/DE better than others), but the amount of precompiled software which comes along with it is generally a good indicator of what makes a good desktop. I know that you have used RH for a long time and have made it your primary distro, and it just sounded like you hadn't ventured far to see what other options were there. I will say this much, the KDE team has covered RH's Printer Admin difficulties with their built-in Printer config tools. > MPlayer is one of my favorite apps.

I've been thinking of building XINE for SuSE, since I didn't see it listed in the installer. > > Glad that you like KDE.

I'll have to see what it's like. I know that even though I love some of KDE's perks, it does like to eat memory up for seemingly inoccuous things. Alt-F2 is just too easy a thing to give up, though!
