Frank,
I'm there! I can't wait to see it. How much is it going to effect my
current KDE installation. I don't use KDE heavily, but my wife does and
she really likes it's functionality. She left windows kickin and screamin
and didn't stop until I showed her KDE could look and feel just like
windows, but offer the strength and stability of Linux.
