    I will not hidde KDE.

    But KDE is normal and no eye catcher. If you use things like
    'windowmaker', visitors will stop and ask 'is this Gnome? I only
    hear/read something about it...'

    And now you can talk about free software, about choices (KDE, gnome,
    windowsmaker and the other XX WMs), about >10.000 Packages, apt-get, ...

    You get the point?

    My last mail has only some 'thoughts', it was and is no guideline!
