Thanks, Joe!  I'll give enlightenment a spin, too.

Myself, I've been with KDE since my RH 6.1 days.  Later I moved on to 
Mandrake - last was release 10.5 (my own LTS.  :-)  Back in November I 
decided to move on to ubuntu.  Firstly, I went kubuntu 9.10 on a 
netbook.  That's when I saw what a freaking side show KDE had become -- 
all about it's own pretentiousness and naught about my productivity. 
I installed KDE 3.5 on the netbook and got back where I wanted to be.
However, having KDE 4 and KDE 3 installed together causes some 
instabilities and creates some inconsistensies.  

I wasn't willing to give up on ubuntu, so - for my workstation - I 
installed ubuntu and then installed KDE 3.5.  I'm happy -- very, very 
happy.

When I can carve out some free time, I'll look into installing [g]ubuntu 
on the netbook and then installing kde 3.5 for my window manager.

(Looks like I/we have hi-jacked this thread....)
Thanks again,
Jonesy
