Later, there was a subproject to make Kubuntu (Ubuntu plus KDE). Fedora is primarily a GNOME distro and they're planning a subproject to distribute a disc with KDE. I fail to see the difference. In fact, I think a "Fedora KDE" could be much improved over the existing situation. Those who are passionate about KDE can form a community around the Fedora KDE efforts and put their expertise to work. It's evident from fedora-devel that there are many such passionate users. This is a good thing. </blockquote> The difference is that Mark Shuttleworth is actively contributing to KDE: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dot.kde.org/1160932072/">http://dot.kde.org/1160932072/</a> Also, Ubuntu is one CD. Fedora's main distro is several CDs or a DVD. The DVD already contains the kitchen sink, why not KDE? I'm typing this on FC6, and like I said, I'm a long time redhat user. It's just sad that this reeks of a being the product of a pro-gnome/anti-kde agenda instead of something being done to help the distro.

During that time, I had the kids choosing GNOME, KDE, or XFce. About half of them chose KDE, since "it's more like XP", and the other half chose GNOME. A couple chose XFce out of curiosity. BTW, I may have lost that K12LTSP server...but, as of recent, I now have THREE MORE in its place! Different sites, obviously.
