Tip on OSx, carry your own mouse and a Live Fedora Stick.
Press the flower key when booting a live stick.
The artsy-fartsy mouse that ships with Macs drives
me nuts. Weird for the sake of weirdness.
Gnome is on the weird side, but Apple hardware
takes the cake.

Well, yeah, but as you said, Gnome's weird. KDE is weird if you're
used to Gnome or Xfce.
I have been using KDE for years, and I think it's a natural for anyone
used to Windows--i.e., most
all of us. Some of the Linux versions I have seen--the last time I
looked at Ubuntu, for instance--
seem to have gone out of their way to make everything Windowish work
backwards! The
panel at the top, the window controls on the left--ugh! And some version
has the panel on the
left side of the screen. What are they trying to prove? Now the version
I run (PCLOS) took the
windows controls and made them into a traffic light--red, green and
yellow. After all, MS did
NOT invent windows, Xerox did. MS only refined it, and at XP made a
pretty good desktop.
(Never mind all the problems Windows brings up!)
Rant off! --doug
