I use KDE at home but I tinker with other wm's at work because I have a faster connection and I can get source quick. I agree with you that KDE is so much more stable than windows. And I can see where those who say KDE is too microsoft are coming from but I think that KDE is the most mature wm available. The other windows managers don't stem so much from an ease of access stand point as much as from an anti micro$oft stand point. Look at GNOME or WindowMaker, they are cool and everything but the interface leaves much to be desired. boldt@ca.ibm.com wrote: > > L.S. wrote: > >Hans, are you actually using X up there or are you stuck in M$? > >If you are using X what window manager are you using, just out of > >curiosity. > >KDE, seems to be very stable and I think will make the change from > >Micro$oft to linux very easy for those used to Win9x because of the > >familiar look and feel of the desktop. > > Well, here at work, I'm stuck with WNT.
