FYI, I've been using StarOffice under Linux for the past two months now without a hitch. It kicks ass. There IS an excellent word processor for Linux. I'm using it. I haven't been so happy since the day I stopped using Windows entirely.
StarOffice has got a great spreadsheet program that works beautifully. It doesn't hog up my system like Excel does, and I don't have to worry about Word Macro Viruses, when I load Word Documents.
Hey Staroffice does have presentations, too. Now I really can wipe Windows from my laptop, since I can use the presentations in StarOffice instead of that PowerPoint POS.
I saw this great homepage once, linked off of the window manager's page (http://www.plig.org/xwinman/). It was an enlightenment screen shot, in one of the windows there was a graphical image of what (at first) looked like the NT logo, with that Redmond 95 font and the crossed wires and all. But upon closer inspection, there were two cavemen trying to start a fire.
Of course, Larry Wall (of Perl fame) isn't one of the names listed in this topic, but he delivers some damn-fine quotes, perhaps none of them having to do with open source, but they're still good.
...when GNOME with Enlightenment allows me to minimize windows without losing them forever
I swear, I'm so tired of minimizing a Netscape window, and losing it so badly that I have to go in with a "kill -9 " to kill Netscape -- just because there doesn't seem to be a way to unminimize any windows with Enlightenment + Gnome.
As always, if somebody has some obvious suggestion that I didn't pick up from what I once thought was an intuitive interface, please enlighten me.

Till then, it's KDE 1.1 all the way.
