Ever since 1.x of KDE they hav just added app after. You can't customized what is installed and what isn't. Even a bare bones KDE install puts a dozen apps in the menu. KDE used to be so good but now it's a heavy, cluttered mess. KDE? your kidding me. Ever since 1.x of KDE they hav just added app after. You can’t customized what is installed and what isn’t.

I'd like to give software like Quicksilver and iGTD a go - but you have to run those on the machine you "live in" - for me, the Dell running Kubuntu. If I can get hibernation to work also, the Mac could become the machine I live in, at least at work. That’s good news - multiple desktops may be enough to make me give Mac OS X another try.

I do suffer from some annoyances but because I don't use it all the time they never really get to me - I suspect they would if I used it more often though. I am curious about trying KDE though, I ran it many years ago and wasn't blown away but I suspect things have moved on somewhat since then.
