    a quick tour of KDE's control panel will make short work of any allegations that it "looks like windows". Mine looks similar to a heavily-mutilated-by-commodities-AmigaOS, if that means anything to you. And I have text turned on underneath the icons for all toolbars - I HATE windows' icons-only approach.

    Even out of box, KDE doesn't look or feel much like windows any more an any distro except RHAT's perverted-kde. Mandrake looks especially elegant. But that's because regardless of any other perceived faults, no one denies that the french have style.

  2. Smart Tags in the article (or is it me?) by abelikoff · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been reading it in IE 6 and it shows a lot of smart tags in the article (my favorite one is a tag placed on every 'Linux' or 'open source' occurence prompting for free trial of VS.NET 2003). Is it me (XP+IE) or is it OSNews?
