[ale] Dominating the Linux Desktop

[Larry Grenevitch]

There is one other thing pushing KDE as the defacto standard.  With Mandrake 
in bankrupcy, and Red Hat pulling their boxed edition.  The only major 
distribution on the shelf in the computer stores will be SuSE which has put 
all of its weight behind both KDE as the desktop and making KDE run Gnome 
apps.  Therefore, any non-techie user out there that tries "Linux" will most 
likely be running KDE.
