     Right. I was so entrenched in Solaris, working at Sun, that I didn't get into Linux until later. We used CDE until about that time, when we started switching over to GNOME.

     CDE (based on Motif) was a step down from OpenWindows, but GNOME eventually got to be pretty good. I've never tried KDE.
