[ale] Dominating the Linux Desktop

[Robert E. Karaffa, II]

I guess it would depend upon the graphics card/VRAM, etc., but I agree, KDE
is far better now than, say, two years ago.  It would be such a blessing for
Linux to have a kick-butt desktop environment that's easy to navigate,
personalize, etc.
    as a humorous aside, we just got a new piece of lab equipment that is
controlled by a Win2K Pro box.  the equipment broke down, so we had a
service engineer out to fix it.  in the course of our conversation, one of
my colleagues tells me that our new Win2K box had been hacked.  Ha!  too
funny.  it hadn't been on the net for more than a few days, and no one
looked in on it to configure it properly, so it looks like we'll be
re-installing the entire OS, Apps, and etc....oh, crap, this has nothing to
do with KDE, does it?  damn...
