@Dietrich T. Schmitz, Your Linux Advocate
before ubuntu, I used SuSE 10.1. I liked kde over gnome because kde was simple. When I ran kde in ubuntu for the first time, it looked cool, but plasma is one big package, so its not like you can pick the kde lanel manager with the gnome window manager with some other menu manager, which stinks. also, it seemes gnome back in the day was more mac-ish and kde was more window-ish, not gnome settled down in its bubbliness and kde went nuts and is in a world of its own. It always crashed on me when I was running 9.04 too. I still like some of what KDE does, but i preferred the modular approach. KDE panels and menues should not be attached to its widget manager, it turns all things not a window into a widget and if plasma crashes, almost the whole desktop X environment needst o reboot.
