Perhaps we can leave the GNOME vs. KDE flames on slashdot. However, I am
using GNOME because I want to. Howevere, I acknowledge that KDE is
relatively stable now and more mature. Definitely the right choice for
Corel at this time. KDE is fully free if Corel defines their OS
distribution as including QT runtime. Debian simply won't do that because
of DFSG, but there's nothing legally wrong with a company like Corel doing
so.
Thanks. Syrus.
