Probably everyone knows, I've been a KDE fanatic for the past decade. And thus I installed the latest KDE4 packages on Kubuntu. Unfortunately many icons where missing in the Ubuntu packages, which made me decide to give SUSE's KDE4Live a try, which I installed on the hard disk of Pleunix. However openSUSE did not live up to my expectations and thus I replaced it with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, using the GNOME desktop environment.At first planned to install KDE right the way, but while I was playing around with GNOME and took a look at the Gnome-Look site, I came to the conclusion, that there was not any longer a reason to drop Gnome in favor of KDE.
The last time, I seriously used GNOME was on Fedora Core 2
(which is considered ancient by now in the GNU/Linux community). In the meantime GNOME has come along the way. And when ether you like it or not, it has become even more easy and to "pimp it up" then KDE (at least for the 3 series of KDE. What's ahead for KDE, only time will tell). So I'm not running out of conclusions here.I won't bore you with the installation and configuration process of Ubuntu, because that was (as expected) a piece of cake (not even worth mentioning).
Just wanted to share some screenshots of my new desktop. (click to enlarge to 1024x768)
