Am I right? > Yes and no. I've used Mandrake/Mandriva since version 8, so there's a lot of truth in what you say. However, when I tried running rawhide leading to FC6 I found that I did like that as well. Over the last couple of years I've found that running either one makes me want the other :-) Consequently I'll have Mandriva on this laptop, where I need it to be 'comfort zone' as you put it, but I shall also have F9 on another box. I also have CentOS on my server, which, I'm sure you know, is very close to FC6. > Like Antonio M mentioned earlier, if you take the > Fedora DVD the default will be gnome, if you want KDE, > you would be better served using The KDE Live CD > variant.

Also, I prefer kde applications for some things and gnome applications for other things - and that varies from one distro and version to another. Consequently, I may not have a gnome desktop installed but I'll certainly have a large slice of gnome libraries etc.. > As for stats, I do not care for them. > There's Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.

Of course at the moment KDE is in a very difficult position. It has to get out into the wider public for testing - a bit like rawhide :-) - yet it's still very much a work in progress. At the moment there are going to be a lot of complaints, mostly because it's not clear which things are gone for ever and which things are merely 'not quite there yet'. I do talk to several KDE developers, and am quite happy to ask them questions like that - once I'm back from my holiday :-) I may not see any reply to this, as I've just signed off for a couple of weeks.
