And I didn't even need to call Digg users "wanking walruses" to get there :) Interestingly this article has become a hot topic at Digg:

Anyway, I've played around with Kubuntu with KDE 4.1 and it looks pretty cool. Ultimately I prefer Gnome, at least at work, because it is such a clean and sparse interface.
