Re: Which is the most stable desktop?

KDE, icewm are reasonably stable. Have not tried others so cannot comment on them. In general, if you are using stable releases, all the destop environments or window managers should be stable enough. Large desktop environments (KDE, GNOME etc.) are always more likely to fail than small ones

I have hplip-ppds but not the hplip package installed. But, really, is the missing of this package the reason that I have only the Default Printer under the Printer Queue in gimp's print plugin? There may be other reasons, but you should install hplip anyway, as it contains CUPS backend for
