Well, I used to be a die-hard GNOMEr, but KDE 2.0 is really pretty, and
I find myself using it a lot--like just about all the time. BTW, I like
ICEWM too. KDE is the desktop for green newbies fresh from Winblows,
and 2.0 can definitely convert some users to linux. Then, the
possibilities are endless. The only way the hardware manufacturers will
support linux is if the user base is there. And, with the possibility
of patents on file types, and the likelyhood that almost everything will
be encrypted sometime in the future, and with the DMCA making it illegal
to reverse engineer anything with encryption, it's imperative that more
people use this system or it will be relegated to a niche market that
can only read it's own file types.
