I agree that it's all about choice. From my previous post, let me reiterate that although I prefer KDE, I think GNOME is a great DE. I think the developers of both DE's should be commended for such fantastic products.
I also wanted to mention that on GUI FTP apps, I prefer FileZilla. I like the layout of KFTPGrabber, but have had issues with it (files it says have been transferred really were not transferred). |

Well... I'm currently in the process of installing Debian Lenny (todays latest release). I opted for a desktop environment even though this is a server (Compaq ML330e - old but it was free). At this stage in the release cycle, it could change upon proper full release, the DE is Gnome. I have to say I really like it. I'm installing KDE as well but may uninstall that at some future date. So, I'm open to change :)
I have to say I like the way Gnome actually 'words' some of its options. I understand the same thing in KDE but I think Gnome may have the edge on clarity. I need to go and sit down now....me. liking Gnome this much... it's unheard of!!! :) |
Was Kaffeine in the media player awards.It deserves the win.

And I don't feel any shame in admitting that I have a strong dislike for Ubuntu: I'd never use, even if it were the last Linux distro. |
Just a Query

I'll admit that my first love affair with Linux was SuSE (9.1) to be precise. I had used Corel Linux and its successor Xandros (I was a beta tester before public release) fairly successfully prior to that release of SuSE. I then moved on up through SuSE 9.2 (bloody awful), 9.3 (excellent) then through the 10 series (10.2 was bad, is there something with the *.2 releases?). However, I then discovered Kubuntu after hearing all about this wonderful new Ubuntu distro. I still have SuSE 10.3 running on one PC but it's rarely used now as I much prefer Kubuntu. I'm really starting to lean towards Debian and it's derivatives nowadays. Yesterday I successfully set up a server running Debian Lenny testing :-) This was new ground for me as I have never before set up a proper server. It still needs some work but it's good fun :) Kevan |
A BSD of course. :D

distro of the year
very sad to think that if you distribute the most distro's that like microsoft you will be called the best.I guess more support and money makes the open source better. what can ubuntu do that slackware is unable to do.

The whole idea behind Linux is the freedom of choice, and this type of in-fighting is exactly what the media is always reporting about as the cause for Linux never being able to go mainstream. |
