This comes as a surprise!  Since when, might I ask?

Tomorrow you'll try recompiling the kernel and installing microsoft 
fonts and Office running on wine, right? ;)

I smell a new Linux user temporaly blind by all the geeky 
possibilities... :D

Oh, better than recompiling the kernel, I guess.

BTW, both latest Gnome and KDE 4 are pure finesse when compared to the 
geeky desktop environments I had to cope with in the old days.  Anyone 
remembers when Gnome used to come with Lispy Sawfish and Xeyes? ;)

They also hold up quite well when compared to Vista.  Aqua is another 
level, though...
