There are other desktops besides GNOME and KDE. Actually I prefer the |
| 9 |
ICEWM window manager. I was running a 1999 Dell 450mhz PIII with 128 |
| 10 |
megs of *SYSTEM* ram until the summer of 2007. Let's just say that |
| 11 |
GNOME and KDE were out of the question for me. On my current desktop, |
| 12 |
ICEWM flies. But I also have a netbook, and again GNOME and KDE are not |
| 13 |
usable. |

Correction, is fat, bloated, and slow, must be bad. I wonder if |
| 18 |
Microsoft's anti-linux strategy is to have its agents infiltrate the |
| 19 |
linux developer community, and turn linux into bloatware. |
