There are also users out there who don't use a desktop environment at
all, just a window manager.  Environments like Gnome or KDE (I'm not
playing any least-favorites here) might be overkill for someone's
hardware, or offer features that will just be turned off, anyway.  Why
run the Gnome panel when GKrellm does what you need?  Why start up KDE
when Fluxbox gives you just enough?

To err is human. To really screw up requires the root password.
