Thanks.
Now for a more stupider question.
What is the purpose of them exactly. I have read the sites but being alien
to the unix world it confuses me.
Do they just make unix a windows type enviroment ?
Is KDE/GNOME the same or they like themes to X windows. ?
So confused. but am trying to get away from microsoft.
thanks
mark
