From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No offense, but that's a really stupid reason not to try it out.

Self acknowledged in the first four words of my post. But in my defense I don’t have to do anything to make a whole host of other distro not fugly and ancient looking, and I’ve got more important things to do these days than spend much time at all tweaking aesthetics in my desktop.

Kde is not a distro....
