Me:
Tried Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3, ( Several Times ) and could NEVER for the
life of me figure out how to mount my CD ROM
Then I installed Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome 2, and LOOOOOOOOOVED IT! I hated
that, at that time it was killed off for
Gnome 3. But, then the MATE project came along later. LOOOVE it too!
I'd give up and go back to Windows 7 for awhile then repeat just to see
whats changed since I last used KDE / Gnome.
