It's Not About the Distro

,----[ Quote ]
| I have no intention of starting a Gnome/KDE/other war, but sometimes I wish 
| all the desktop managers for Linux weren't so good! There is no obvious 
| winner, and some are better than others in given situations. Again, that's a 
| strength of Linux. It's just too darn good!   
| 
| If world domination is truly the desire of the Linux community, our vast 
| number of options will slow us down. I'm not suggesting we standardize, or 
| have a Desktop Deathmatch (fun though that may be) -- but it's silly to 
| pretend we don't struggle a bit because of our diversity.   
| 
| Superiority is such a burden.

Goodbye Vista, KDE 4.0 Has Arrived!

,----[ Quote ]
| There are only few people who know that if you look out of your 'Windows', 
| the world is much more vivid and beautiful. Apple is known for its good 
| looks, but it’s excessively expensive, while Vista is a big disappointment 
| (check Tech Cold War 2007!). Now, there is GNU/Linux which, in fact, is free 
| and offers much more options and freedom than Windows or Mac. One of the most 
| popular desktop environments on GNU/Linux platform has come out in a new 
| flavour - KDE 4.0.
