For me, KDE4 looks to be not worth the learning curve. Since KDE4 forces me to learn *something* new and less usable than KDE3 it seems worth considering Gnome. I'd be interested in hearing from those who use it and what their experiences are.
Had I not been with the KDE and Gnome development team since KDE 0.99 I might have thought that there was something wrong with KDE 4.xx. However, I know that any new release of KDE will not work until something like the x.2 or x.3 release. Takes a long time to write desktop software. I've just switched to KDE 4.2. Seems to be stable and usable. Things are still missing but it works. What's new for me is the AWN desktop manager.... http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page Using this in Gnome with a lot of KDE 4.2 I have a (almost) Mac lookalike desktop which is GPL'd. Which suits me fine. Just deleted my Mac 10.1 iMac desktop and put PPC Linux into it. Very nice. Sophisticated. Tasteful. Reliable. What else... Oh.. yeh... just great to have the same thing on my EeePC which I can use anywhere.... with 3 mobile broadband - www.three.co.uk -- Richard www.sheflug.org.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
