You're right. I guess I was not very clear. I switched from KDE to gnome not because of the k prefix alone. KDE was good to support my migration from windows to linux. KDE was very much like windows 2000 and I did not get lost much. Once I got familiar with linux, I found that I liked gnome better. Somehow the application naming makes more sense to me. I'm telling ya, since I switched from Fedora 4/KDE to Ubuntu Breezy/gnome I've been more productive. I'll check KDE from time to time but, right now, I'm good with gnome.
I don't like that either but it is better than Microsoft Word, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, etc.
I have a hard time figuring out the k application naming. Gnome seams to make more sense to me, personally.
To tell you the truth, I abandoned k because of it and I've been using gnome for almost an year now.
I believe I'm more productive in gnome than I ever was with k.
My 2 cents.
Ubuntu is for linux what Windows 2000 was for NT 4.0.
In both cases the kernel was about the same but the configuration management became much more graphical.
If you have a lot of time to screw around with the command line it makes no difference but you can't beat graphical interface for system settings.
I don't want to remember that my add-on NIC is eth0 and the built in eth1. I want to call them "built-in" and "add-on"; it's easier to figure it out by just looking at the box !
I tried red-hat many times and most recently fedora-2, 3 & 4. I moved to Ubuntu recently and I'm not coming back. Thanks Ubuntu team.
