Yes and no. I've used Mandrake/Mandriva since
version 8, so there's a lot of
truth in what you say. However, when I tried
running rawhide leading to FC6
I found that I did like that as well. Over the last
couple of years I've
found that running either one makes me want the
other :-) Consequently I'll
have Mandriva on this laptop, where I need it to be
'comfort zone' as you put
it, but I shall also have F9 on another box. I also
have CentOS on my
server, which, I'm sure you know, is very close to
FC6.

Sometimes I install both. Sometimes I install KDE
and one of the lighter
desktops, though I haven't done that just recently.

Absolutely. Also, I prefer kde applications for
some things and gnome
applications for other things - and that varies from
one distro and version
to another. Consequently, I may not have a gnome
desktop installed but I'll
certainly have a large slice of gnome libraries
etc..

It has to be a personal choice. Of course at the
moment KDE is in a very
difficult position. It has to get out into the
wider public for testing - a
bit like rawhide :-) - yet it's still very much a
work in progress. At the
moment there are going to be a lot of complaints,
mostly because it's not
clear which things are gone for ever and which
things are merely 'not quite
there yet'. I do talk to several KDE developers,
and am quite happy to ask
them questions like that - once I'm back from my
holiday :-)
I may not see any reply to this, as I've just signed
off for a couple of
weeks.
I hope you have a nice vacation :)
I agree with your statements. We need to have comfort
zones!
