Ken,

What desktop environment do you use? I installed a beta version of Squeeze a 
few weeks ago & noticed that they've switched to KDE4. I've used KDE 3.x for 
years but KDE 4.x seems like a completely different environment. It also 
seemed excruciatingly slow on startup (user login).

Would be very interested in your thoughts & observations.

Cheers!
