I wanted some real mean comments to come about how Beryl is the greatest thing ever to be invented or something like that. :)
You are of course right. Like I have previously stated, I prefer KDE, but what is right for me is not right for everyone else. That is why there are so many things to choose from. I am not pushing KDE, or any other DE on anyone, I only state my opinions. I have to say, I spend more time with Konsole than I do anything else, and I could probably do with just about any WM just as well as I do with KDE, or perhaps I should just dump all WMs and use mutt and links. Whatever I decide, it is my choice. The freedom to take these decisions is the strong point of GNU/Linux. This of course is not appropriate to this thread, so I will stop preaching how pleased I am that I got out of the Windows world.
