I used to love gnome, it's much simpler than KDE. KDE is nightmare
too(for me).
Now I have wmaker running smoothly, I just love this simple desktop

Yes, debian is almost perfect. And apt is like a huge shopping
mall, anything you want. And for developers, debian is so

Yes, ubuntus works just like debian, but have more beatiful desktops.
