Ok so I've always been confused by how often I see this come<br>
up... don't FreeBSD, and Debian, and Ubuntu, and Redhat, and OpenBSD,<br>
etc. all ship a huge variety of window managers and desktop environments<br>
right there in the package manager? I guess I haven't run Gnome in 15<br>
years but everything else I ever want (fvwm, xfce, stumpwm, twm, KDE) is<br>
always available with a quick install command.<br>
<br>
I remember for a long time people would talk about how they were going<br>
to install Xubuntu or Kubuntu or Lubuntu because they didn't like the<br>
Gnome interface on Ubuntu... blow away your whole root partition rather<br>
than run "apt-get install kde"?<br>
