I'm a Gnome guy, but Linux Mint looks pretty cool.. Ryan On Jun 13, 2008, at 10:38 AM, Ian Serlin wrote:
Try Linux Mint (www.linuxmint.com). I like the XFCE version personally, but LM5 only has Gnome at this point, although you could install others yourself later on. It’s based on Ubuntu distributions. Anyway, I think you’ll like it if you liked KDE.

Since I recently replaced two PC's with very fast machines, my computer budget is depleted, so I will try one more time with Linux, but thanks for the idea.

Actually, not so good, mostly from my inexperience with Linux (kind of ironic, I used Unix exclusively for a couple years in the 80's, before bash, and before years of Windoze wiped out what I knew), but partly because I chose the latest version of Kubuntu (8.04 with KDE4), which freezes occasionally. Apparently this is a known problem, and the advice I found online is to wait for version 4.2 of KDE (now on version 4.04). So, should I try 8.04 with "rock solid" KDE3? Should I go back to 7.04? Should I skip KDE and just use Ubuntu 7.04?
