You could say Mandriva was my first favorite distro after the bitter taste of Redhat 6.x/7.x. The only reason I switched away from it to Debian was because at the time Debian was a challenge and Mandrake was too easy :)<BR/><BR/>I often feel the same with Ubuntu nowadays and has recently started flirting again with Gentoo ;)Budhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16681603430019235684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16633914.post-39700853548556018302009-02-17T17:24:00.000+05:302009-02-17T17:24:00.000+05:30i finally tried it out. kde 4.2... it was superb! i blogged about it...<BR/><BR/>http://thekindofme.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/reawakening-of-my-inner-linux-freak-moving-into-arch-linux/Yasithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08220802861783967668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16633914.post-5848953665451419582009-01-26T11:03:00.000+05:302009-01-26T11:03:00.000+05:30@Anuradha<BR/>i have been a faithful ubuntu/gnome user for about 2/3 years now. i liked kde also but felt its not simple enough, for whatever reason. but still its a grate desktop env. so i got to try its new versions and keep in sync with its state.<BR/><BR/>and of course, we love you all, dear OSS contributors! :)Yasithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08220802861783967668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16633914.post-51230273593880000942009-01-26T10:57:00.000+05:302009-01-26T10:57:00.000+05:30Thanks all for your comments. <BR/><BR/>@AdamW,<BR/>I second what you say mate, it is indeed important to run an upgrade after installing it.<BR/><BR/>@Yasith, <BR/>Of course it's worth trying and playing around it for a while, and I think, it can be used as a default work platform too. Have to check the stability of the system for some time. If it's stable and fulfil all your needs of course "ONE" can be a default Desktop for any user. <BR/><BR/>@All readers, <BR/>As GNU/Linux comes with many flavours we are very lucky bunch of people. We can experience many variety of Desktop Environments, software for free as in freedom and of course many software at zero cost. So we all should thankful to the Hackers all around the world who made this horrible machines looks sexy and making our world beautiful. ;-)Anuradhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14150792390675721967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16633914.post-33571237431538460932009-01-24T09:19:00.000+05:302009-01-24T09:19:00.000+05:30thanks for the tip!Yasithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08220802861783967668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16633914.post-60365788351196341422009-01-24T00:43:00.000+05:302009-01-24T00:43:00.000+05:30One thing to note: the KDE 4 packages have been updated pretty actively since 2009 came out. So be sure to do all official updates after installing 2009, one of the results will be an improved KDE 4, with extra features and fewer bugs.AdamWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01360019761470485694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16633914.post-18495444933219223252009-01-23T17:44:00.000+05:302009-01-23T17:44:00.000+05:30i got to try this out.
