I have been using Kubuntu linux for a while now, and I have to say, my desktop is pretty cool these days. My wife and son have macs, and while I have a little mac-envy, I like Linux better because of all the really cool things you can do. I'm an old time UNIX guy forced into Windows in the 80s, and reluctantly started using Linux in '94 and went cold turkey to full Linux (from Windows NT) in 1996. I guess FreeBSD could do the exact same things that Linux does, so I guess I'm more raving about the advances in GUI subsystems like KDE. Here is my desktop: http://www.mohawksoft.com/screenshot.jpg The bottom icon panel is "kooldock," I have the "kicker" placed at the top of the screen, and my desktop spreads across two 19" 1280x1024 LCD monitors. I have to say, even though Linux has been a capable desktop environment for a long time, this is the first time I really feel that from a GUI/ease of use perspective, Linux is no longer lacking. What do you guys think? I'd love to custom configure a Linux box and sit it next to a Mac and a Windows system, and have people try the three and see which they like best. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
