Users / Re: Do I have to use KDE?

« on: March 05, 2009, 05:38:15 am »

KDE is one of the worst user interfaces I have ever used.  Gnome is alot better - not great however.  There is a program that will create XpGnome - Make Linux Look like Windows XP that makes the switch over alot easier.  I have been trying to switch over for 5 years now and was going to when I found this script at:

http://www.ubuntu.online02.com/node/14

I do not understand the Lunix World not having the "My Computer" icon on the desktop.  If you want people to switch over simple drive access needs to be provided.  I hate MicroJunk as much as anyone else but the GUI rules.  Therefore, if we are stuck with KDE for LinuxMCE and do not want the nightmare of MythTV is there a script that will create a XP desktop for KDE?  If not I will just have to wait a few more years to switch....

Installation issues / Re: RAID setup

Has anyone figured out a work-around for Raid5 with a Live CD install - AMD 64bit (Nvidia NForce Professional 3600/3050)?  I have blown away 4 Vista installs before I determined what the issue was.

Installation issues / Re: 64 bit version of the installer?

Is there a LinuxMCE 64bit version?  If so does it also support two Dual Core AMD Processors?  Either way what software do you recommend for a HTPC system that is also going to be a software repository for my data files.
