While I like CDE in a sort of nostalgic way (thinking back to the days at
school...) I must say that KDE 2 is really getting places! I built it on my
Slackware box some weeks ago, and it is very good indeed. The graphics are
well done - not too much, but just enough - it is rather stable and
all-in-all a very nice environment to work in. I just got it precompiled for
FreeBSD the other day, so I'm going to install it on the big box soon :)

I used to be (well... "am") a die-hard fvwm fan, but KDE feels like a
good-looking windows desktop now - it feels like a desktop you just sit down
at to do some work. I think "natural" is the word I'm looking for here.
