Well, I've chosen a new distro ...

Congrats, Michael.  It sounds good.  Looking forward to trial-running it
myself.
Two days after your "Pox on Fedora" post where you mention in the past
72 hours  realizing that you can't stake your "meager existence" on them.

What a resolve!  ;)  I take it your search has been long and ultimately
fruitful.  Good luck to you and your little (ex-) hat too :)

I would like clarification on the pronunciation of "hoary" though ;)

One other serious question to anyone who can speak to it: Will Ubuntu
make an KDE user happy?  Or have they fallen into the RH/MDK camp of
giving little time (or none) to KDE?  Are there Debian sources which
provide a good KDE desktop environment?  Yes, I love KDE.  Always have.
~ Probably always will.  Something to do with the evangelist thing again.
~ KDE is just friendlier and better looking. (better integrated?)
