i'd heard complaints about the unified desktop repeatedly here and in the newsgroups since 8.0 was released. over the week i finally downloaded the iso's and installed psyche on the last machine in my house that still had windows on it, and damn, i was impressed.
redhat still offers full customization of EITHER window manager, and if there is some esoteric g/kde setting i'm not aware of, download the newest k-rad alpha of whichever and install it. the point of the unified desktop was to make it appeal to corporate and grandmas without taking away either option.
within about 2 hours, i had my desktop looking and acting like mac osx (via kde) and my wife couldn't believe how wonderful it worked.
so, speaking as a person who's brand new to the unified desktop, and as an RHCE, either install whatever you prefer, learn how to install theme packages, or stfu.
Precisely why I went and got a job with the government. I may be a flipping c++ and deep frying cf code, but it's a heck of a lot better then nomadding around monster.
well, actually -I'm- the person who says my living standard is more important, just as I'm sure the indian with the helpdesk job wouldn't want to give up his.
global economics == good. national economics == better.
if we don't have jobs, we can't support our own industries, ergo, they go under. greed is a good thing, gluttony isn't.
if you're gonna flame, at least be intelligent about it.
you're not balancing out the worlds economy, you're letting rich americans get richer by using cheaper labor.
ethical? yes. moral? yes. ayn rand would be proud.
just don't sit there and think because joe smoo in somalia is producing manufactured goods that the global economy will start to even.
