    Call me ignorant, but what does KDE have to do with BSD?

    Mr. Helmet:

    Well, KDE has about as much to do with BSD as it does with Linux :) Popular desktop on both.

    My intent was to make it basically in the Linux section (since many more KDE users are using Linux -- I assert, without numbers, just observation, and I could be wrong, and a moose once bit my sister and and and), cross-listed in the BSD section.

    A peculiarity of the Slashdot backend means I picked the wrong order / weighting for KDE vs. Linux; I updated the story to fix this. No slight is meant toward Linux users, BSD users, Gnome users, those who enjoy boiled eggs with dill of a winter evening ...
