I started out years ago with Gnome (still like it), crossed over to KDE, abandoned KDE when 4.x came out, used Xfce off and on all during this time and ended up sticking with it as my main WM/DE.

Running a dual-core machine with an ATI (or other non-co-operative) graphics chipset? I have a triple-core ATI that gives me three screwed up penguins and I have a dual-core NVIDIA that gives me two nice penguins. It's just a cosmetic issue, so I haven't done much about it.

If ya gatta go with GNOME, GNOME SlackBuild is the way to go.

I didn't say anything. I only posted the link to a picture. The "EWWWWWWW" part was because one of my cats pooted about that time.

Yep. Ah well, it's not that important.

I'm still thinking about it but I'm trying to hold off on it. I don't know if I'm going to stick with Gnome once 3.0 rolls out, so I'm going to have to get used to something else sooner or later.
