I just haven't got the patience at the moment to mess around with it. I know Gnome well so that's what I'm going back to. That's not to say I won't have a better play with KDE4, I'll just fire it up in a virtual machine. I really do like some of the features of KDE4 such as the way it fades but at the moment I need to get things done and haven't got the time to learn a new desktop environment. Saying that it is possible that KDE4 is just not very well implemented in the Jaunty Alpha 4, I haven't tried it in Fedora or OpenSUSE yet, that's something else I will have a look at. I don't want to turn this into a Gnome vs KDE flame war, I know some people prefer KDE over Gnome and some people prefer Gnome over KDE and others prefer XFCE, Enlightenment, Fluxbox, FVWM etc, I'm just a fan on Gnome myself. The great thing about it is that we have a choice. I think that if we do any Linux install days it's probably a good idea to at least have a couple of distos so that anyone interested in switching can try the distos out first and see what they like. I installed Ubuntu on the LTSP server because it's what I know. I'm sure if anyone else had done it they may have chosen Debian, K12LTSP or maybe even Gentoo.
