I tried to install today at work, it wouldn't setup my intellimouse
explorer (USB) correctly, so I put an old 2button ps2 mouse on
the rest of the install went fine but KDE wouldn't start and X had
problems. I switched to tty2 and used gdm to get into gnome. gnome had
major problems the only thing that worked was evolution.
I hope beta 2 is better

Although I am not a huge KDE fan, I'm finding myself taking a liking to it. Of course it'll have to be stripped of all the default junk, but that is true of any OS. At least Xmms works :)

I am struck by the choice of making KDE look like winblows, Unix, KDE or MacOS. This might make it easier for some of the norms to move to the dark side with the rest of us.
