And now Ubuntu is aubergine. It is a slick operating system and Canonical
has big plans for Ubuntu. I am excited about many of them.

But in terms of flexibility you can't beat KDE. I am now running KDE 4.6 and
it is even better. They have cranked it up a bit in terms of the plasmoids
and Activities. I vacillated between GNOME and KDE for years before settling
on one, so at least you could make up your mind, even if it was based on
colour. One of the things that interested me was finding out how many here
use alternate desktops to GNOME.
