Personally, I like KDE better than gnome right now, on the strength of
pretty user interface and it working better. I personally use neither,
though. I know there has been a lot of silly license flamage, and I don't
particularly like it.
My opinion on licenses is that "he who writes the code gets to chose his
license, and nobody else gets to complain". Anybody complaining about a
copyright license is a whiner.
The anti-KDE people are free to write their own code, but they don't have
the moral right to complain about other people writing other code. I
despise people who do complain, and I won't be sucked into the argument.
But feel free to forward this as you see fit.

voidmain:
That quote is over four years old but I bet he still feels the same way today as he did four years ago. I wonder what he was using for a window manager at that time since he said he didn't use either Gnome or KDE at the time. And I wonder what he uses today? Not that it really matters.... Gnome is pretty good but I prefer KDE or Windowmaker to Gnome, but that doesn't really matter either.. It's nice to have a choice.
Master of Reality:
it is nice ti have a choice unlike that other operating system... what do they get to argue about?
Sleeping Dog:
Being confined to just one GUI or OS would (for me at least) be like being restricted to only one girlfriend. So what is there to argue about? My GUI can beat up your GUI?
Of course, the Microsnot people can always say "My OS ate my homework!" and the teacher will believe them.
Chuckles to all.

PS If you have not yet expressed an opinion on how we should configure the two hard drives, please do so. This project needs lots of input from everyone.
To refresh: hda and hdb are 1 Gig and a 1.2 Gig drives (both 5200 rpm and equal access speeds).
quote: Just A Note About PhotoShop
PhotoShop caches the images that are open into a disk area that they refer to as "Scratch Disks". Because this is a "Windows" version of the software, it will be "looking for" this space using the DOS type C:\ file structure. High res images can sometimes require as much as 400+ meg of "Scratch Disk" space while they are being edited. Therefore, your formatting and disk structuring strategy will need to take this into account.
And A Note About AutoCAD
AutoCAD's auto-save (backup) function, by default, also looks for a DOS style path (C:\etc.etc)
I double-checked on the sizes of the two apps. The AutoCAD program needs 300 MB of space and PhotoShop needs 100 MB (not including the scratch disk area). A one Gig DOS style partition on the 1.2 Gig HD might be what is needed for the two apps to have all the room that they require.
