The sad thing is that if you venture into the KDE IRC list and mention Fedora or RedHat, the crowd gets a little ugly, like real fast. They see RH/FC leaning largely to Gnome and I have no excuse for it. I love my RedHat, even worked there long ago. But IMHO, Gnome reeks. RH is wrong-headed in the decision to support it when KDE has a very viable community and could very well be THE contender for the Desktop against the common foe, M$, especially if RH would put resources towards it and just give Gnome a decent burial. I was in marketing for 26 years, and I would much rather rep for KDE than Gnome any day of the week, I hope Mathew reads this and, most importantly, listens to the old guy that used to catnap in front of his monitor, with his hands on the keyboard.
