Ubuntu KDE

[malevolentjelly]

Now, I'm not sure if I'm entering this thread too late, but what
originally drew me to linux was that in didn't cost any money. I'm
running an older Apple Powerbook G3 Pismo, not because I am an apple
fan at all, but because through a strange opportunity I got this old
laptop for free. Now, in the good old fashion spirit of not spending a
horrendous amount of money (I have a blue-collar job, and can't afford
new-confangled DELL-cheap mb bs), I decided to use linux because you
can make just about any computer run smoothly with it. From the
standpoint of someone with inferior, old hardware, I can honestly say
that KDE seems to run a lot quicker than gnome. I wasn't originally
drawn to Ubuntu for any moral or usability reason. I just saw it as a
very well maintained debian tree. I'm using packaged X.org, now that is
keen. My only gripe has been sluggish gtk2/gnome. Perhaps I don't
understand gnome or how to customize it. I am not sure, but I had no
problem gouging out all of KDE's visual effects for a smooth and
complete desktop environment. Am I the only one using KDE for speed and
form? I'd use XFCE... but I only have one mouse button... and my pinky
finger would get tired.
