    KDE runs much more smoothly on my laptop than GNOME.

    The world's most popular distribution? No, that can't be right. I've never used it.

    Unrelated to your question, I never expected to see a Steve Taylor quote on Slashdot. Bannerman is not one my favorite songs (more of a pre-Squint kind of guy) but Squint was a good album.

    I STILL have the tribute album in regular rotation on the iAudio.

    Bannerman is not my favorite song either, but I like the imagery... the guy that knows he can't change the world but does his little part because it's his thing, does it well, and trusts that the rest will be handled in it's own way. While I can appreciate the Clone/Meltdown era music, I'm not a big fan of the style. The tribute album is so great though. Bride, Sixpence, Starfyler 59, Dighayzeus... just about as much variety as you could ask for. A fitting tribute for one of the best songwriters of the era. His 90s rock was second to none. All of those guys were just amazing. I just wish they had done more. Wade Jaynes in particular is such a talented artist. All of them are outstanding in their own way.
