Confessions of a Linux newbie

,----[ Quote ]
| The ability to apply different interfaces to the OS 
| was a novel concept after years of the Windows 
| monolith. KDE, Gnome, and Xfce are the most popular 
| Linux graphical interfaces, most of which are based 
| on the X Window System, but many hard-core Linux 
| users stick with its command-line interface, which 
| harkens back to DOS. Instead of taking whatever 
| features Microsoft offers, Linux lets you mix and 
| match components and functions to meet your needs 
| and fit your style.

GoblinX 3.0 Has KDE 4

,----[ Quote ]
| Flavio Pereira de Oliveira announced today the third release
| of his popular Slackware-based Live CD Linux distribution,
| GoblinX, also known as G:Standard. GoblinX 3.0 used to have
| five desktop managers, but it appears that Flavio decided to
| keep only one, the K Desktop Environment. With the KDE4 on
| board, this distribution offers stability and good looks on a
| bootable Live CD ISO image.
