You'd think that if ANYONE would have the connections/clout to get the licensing issues for home users sorted then it would be sabdfl..   Yet it never happened, and now there's Freespire with others likely to follow suit.  (OpenSuse perhaps?) So how about it?  Let's do an 'enriched media edition' of Ubuntu. I did notice however that Freespire uses KDE, which I hate A LOT more than a bit of DIY'ing on the RestrictedFormats page. I bet dumping KDE in favour of Gnome is a lot more involved than a bit of gstreamer downloading......</blockquote><div> I stop bashing KDE when my grandma told me last 3 months ago that she likes KDE more than GNOME. I keep arguing with her, I said "lola, KDE sucks, trust me, it's hard and it's really complicated", then she replied "If you want me to learn these things, I have to learn it the hard way.". It's a lesson I learn now she's dead. That people have different tastes.  </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">So in answer to the Freespire ad about 'steps needed to make X the perfect OS', I'd like to see their instuctions to ditch KDE on Freespire and bolt on something more humane.
