Larry, I just did an nfs install of Mandrake.  Too cool.  Great looking
desktop and the available tools for kde are fantastic.  Only complaint I
have is that it does the  same thing other Linux dists. do, and that is
drop icons/menus on your desktop/toolbar for things you didn't install. 
At least with kde, it gives you a (good) hint as to what the problem is
when you try to execute one of them.

Anyone using kde with Enlightenment?
