True... but the majority of the people who I've helped wanted Linux because of what it is... not because it isn't Windows. They picked openSUSE because they know me, and they asked... so I tell them openSUSE.. most of the time :-) How does this relate back to the discussion though? Well maybe in this way (and I've seen this bantered around the lists recently)... instead of focusing on a KDE only distro, focus on better defaults, and apply that at least to both Gnome and KDE (as the Tier 1 DEs). What makes better defaults? Good question and something that could/should be discussed. The thing is, with this approach, it opens up a new entry level area for non-programmer types to contribute to the discussion. It doesn't alienate the Gnome camp... it doesn't annoy the KDE camp.... it works towards one of openSUSE's strengths... being one of the best KDE distros, and one of the best Gnome distros. We're already a significant part of the way there. I don't know.. just an alternative approach that might fulfill some of the spirit of the original proposal.
