I haven't looked at KDE 4 yet. I am looking at Lucid Ubuntu at the
moment. It just confirms for me how much I hate Gnome.

I also run Mint on my laptop, Xfce version. I am really getting to like
it. So Mint running Xfce rather than Gnome (yuk). That would be
successful IMHO for a newcomer to Linux.

Just my two-pennyworth,
