KDE?!?! You heathen!
LOL - I used to go KDE, but I tried and like Gnome. I'm using Amarok,
which is a KDE app tho... not sure how much they cross, but they do.
That's an interesting history. Don't remember much, but I think it's
basically NetBeans vs. Eclipse (one was closed (GNOME?) and then
went open, vs. open from the get-go).
Eye Candy:
If you run the eye-candy (you can turn it on and off with a click), it
totally destroys Vista's Areo (sp?). Not even a contest. "And
oh my God! it's full of configurability!" (<--- 2001 style)
Flavor:
This "Mint" I talk about is a flavor of a flavor- A Ubuntu install plus
some maintenance of non-ubuntu (and not quite "open") apps.
Again, let me refer you to my electrically-burnt nuts, resulting from
love of said distro.

People who are 'ready' give off a different vibe than people who aren't.
Animals can smell fear; maybe that's it.
The minute you become ready is the the minute you stop dreaming.
Suddenly it's no longer about 'becoming'. Suddenly it's about 'doing'.
