Since a came from a Windows environment, I picked KDE 3 for coming closest.
What comes closest now (XP or win7) - KDE 4 or Gnome ?
I've never seen much resemblance between any Win and Gnome, but I rarely touch Gnome. In *buntu I always use Kubuntu, but by far I prefer openSUSE with KDE to *buntu.
I want to, also, upgrade my brother-in-law who used to be on XP - he's now on KDE 3
Are you sure you want to? Does he know he wants to? Are you familiar with how much has changed? KDE3 repos are available for 11.s once installation is complete. Three times in the past week I installed 11.2 minimal text, added KDE3 & other optional repos (e.g. packman, mozilla, VideoLan), added enough of KDE3 with zypper to run KDE3, then used YaST2 to finish adding needed programs and the rest of KDE3. I figure by KDE 4.6 in oS 11.4(?) it should be enough like KDE3 to give it a try. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2010-07/msg01847.html tells more about those recent 11.2 installs. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
