I don't understand it either. People keep throwing these terms like
"GNOME" and "KDE" around... I turn on their systems hoping to see what
these things are - and they invariably turn out to be some kind of a
strange version of Wind0ws. I usually throw a nice sensible install of
Debian or whatever on there, just to be a nice guy and to save them from
themselves. And would you *believe* that they grouse about it? They even
try to tell me "it WAS Linux!", but I know what I saw.

I mean, if you can't trust your eyes, what _can_ you trust?
