Myself I prefer KDE. I have had it since the beta came with SUSE 5.2. That was also my first crack at #nix's. This posting is mainly directed to the OLDIES. There is only a NEWBIE list so I am posting here. Do you use FreeBSD as a desktop workstation or do you still clean windows. Does FreeBSD do everything you need for a workstation? Personaly I think KDE is elegant. And I can't see waisting a 17" flat screen monitor on just a black and white console. I mean if you have the hardware, use it. I do use windows to play a few games now and then but if FreeBSD could do that I'd be a happy man. I see in the news that IBM is supporting LInux and maybe HP is as well. Why do you suppose they overlooked FreeBSD. Not that I would want a corporate stering committe, that could compromise quality for deadlines. What do you think?
